Ron Pearlman on ‘Hellboy 3:’ “The ‘Hellboy’ Saga Was Meant to Have a Beginning, a Middle and an End”

While talking to Variety, Ron Pearlman hints on what the third installment of Helllboy could be about:

“The discussion has now overtaken me rather than me overtaking the discussion. And here I am in Monte Carlo, working on my suntan, and people are still asking me about ‘Hellboy 3,’ so I guess it’s still news. But I’ll tell you the same thing I’ve been telling everyone else, the ‘Hellboy’ saga was meant to have a beginning, a middle and an end, and that, if you were loyal enough to us where you came and watched both those two movies that we made, we owe you a resolve.

And there will come a time where he will have to live up to his destiny, which is to be the beast of the apocalypse, or if he has to suppress that destiny by sacrificing himself in some way so as to not destroy mankind but do the opposite. And that’s the discussion of the third film; I think it’s a discussion worth having, and I think it’s something we owe the fans and I’m being very clear about that with…”

Pearlman also says that he’s been talking to director Guillermo Del Toro “intermittently” on his idea on what’s going to happen on ‘Hellboy 3’

“It’s in Guillermo’s head. And he’s shared enough of it with me to know that it will be mind-blowing. I mean it will be mind-blowing. It will be great cinema. And if you are somebody who followed the first two movies, it will be even more mind-blowing because we have something… if you liked the first one and the second one, we have something really rock ’em, shock ’em in the third one.”

With Del Toro’s films lined up: Crimson Peak (October 2015), Pacific Rim 2 (2017), and Pinocchio announced, we’ll have to wait for the third Hellboy to arrive.
