If you’ve been dying for a third Hellboy movie, you’ve probably been disappointed for quite a while. Fortunately, Guillermo Del Toro is finally giving the film a chance.
In a tweet on Wednesday, the Hellboy director promised fans that he would meet with Ron Perlman (star of Hellboy) and Mike Mignola (creator of Hellboy comics), on one condition.

If one hundred thousand fans vote on his Hellboy Twitter poll, Del Toro says he will begin the process.

Hellboy III
If the fans want the movie enough, he will make it happen.
The poll he tweeted asks fans if they want to see Hellboy III happen. The funny thing is, there are only two options to choose from. You can either vote “Yes” or “Hell Yes”.
Either way you vote, it’s one more tally on the road to 100k.
The director followed the poll up with the promise that he would set the meeting if the poll reached the desired number of voters. If enough fans can get on board, and click a simple button, the film will be moving forward.
The HELLBOY III is our chance to vote the right way in 2017! If 100k votes come in 24 hours I promise to have a sit down w Da Perl & Mignola

Ron Perlman would likely be on board for this movie, given that the meeting happens. He has previously said he would be down to return as the character, though it’s likely that’s the only comic franchise he’d want to be a part of.
Make sure you go over to Twitter and vote, so we can all make Hellboy III a reality!
At the end of World War II, the Nazis attempt to open a portal to a paranormal dimension in order to defeat the Allies, but are only able to summon a baby demon who is rescued by Allied forces and dubbed “Hellboy” (Ron Perlman). Sixty years later, Hellboy serves as an agent in the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense, where he, aided by Abe Sapien (Doug Jones), a merman with psychic powers, and Liz Sherman (Selma Blair), a woman with pyrokinesis, protects America against dark forces.
