Update: Perlman announced via Twitter that the photo was “…was more aspirational than factual.“. Looks like we’re still going to have to wait.
Ron Perlman took to Instagram Sunday night with a rather provocative photo/message. The photo is a poster for Hellboy 2: The Golden Army and shows Hellboy wearing sunglasses. The text accompanying the photo, however, is where things get delicious. Perlman writes, “Lurking… Waiting… And then, poof… One more Roman numeral after the name… As if by magic………..”
While this isn’t a confirmation that Hellboy 3 is in the works, it’s the most optimistic news about the film yet. With director Guillermo del Toro busy on Crimson Peak, Pacific Rim 2, and “The Strain“, among other projects, the timing and scheduling of such a project would be the biggest obstacle should the studios green light the project.
I truly hope the team at the B.P.R.D. get to tackle the forces of evil once again. I’m a big fan of the two films and would love to see Perlman as the “big red ape” once again.
