Hellboy director Guillermo del Toro was so inspired by Ron Perlman dressing up as Hellboy to fulfill a young boy’s “Make-A-Wish” that he’s decided to pursue Hellboy 3.
Recently, Hellboy actor Ron Perlman donned the red suit and half-horns for a young boy’s “Make-A-Wish,” which included him being made into Hellboy as well. After seeing this play out last week, director Guillermo del Torro feels that he owes it to his young fans to try and make another Hellboy film.
Del Toro says the event was also a factor in helping to bring himself and Perlman together on making a third Hellboy. “I’ve encountered a lot of kids who are fans of the movies,” said del Toro, “but to hear the story of this kid who was watching the movies while going through treatment, it really just moved me a lot.” The director stresses that he hasn’t yet approached Hellboy creator Mike Mignola on the prospect of a Hellboy III, nor is a studio signed on yet. But, he says, “We’re going to make an effort to do it. I hope it happens.” So do we!
