It’s been nearly a decade since Hellboy’s last outing.
Over the years, both Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman have made no secret of the fact that they’re hungry to make Hellboy 3 and turn the franchise into a satisfying trilogy. Last we updated you on the status of the potential project, back in October of last year, Perlman seemed to have finally given up on his hopes, but today it seems that maybe all hope isn’t yet lost.
On Twitter earlier today, Guillermo del Toro posted an “informal poll” asking his followers if they’d like to see Hellboy 3. Humorously, the two options in the poll are “YES” and “HELL YES,” and at the time of writing this post, nearly 8,000 votes have been cast (“hell yes” is in the lead, by the way). But is he just teasing fans? Well, not exactly.
In a follow-up tweet, del Toro stated the purpose of the poll:
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 with Perl[man] & [Mike] Mignola.
Yes, you read right. If we show that we REALLY want it, del Toro will get serious about Hellboy 3.
VOTE BELOW!!
Informal poll (let’s see how many votes we get in 24 hours)
