While promoting Season 2 of Amazon Prime’s Hand of God, Ron Perlman—the actor that portrayed the red-skinned anti-superhero in director Guillermo del Toro’s films—told Variety, Hellboy III “probably will never happen, though you never say never never.”
Perlman isn’t quite ready to concede defeat, but unless del Toro is willing to back off from a proposed budget north of $100 million, I just don’t see Hellboy III getting a greenlight.
