Guillermo del Toro interested in 'Hellboy 3'

Director Guillermo del Toro was Comic-Con this weekend to talk about his upcoming film "Pacific Rim," but he also dropped some news about another one of his franchises when he said he was interested in pursuing a "Hellboy 3."

It's been four year since "Hellboy II."
Del Toro told Entertainment Weekly, "I can say publicly that now we are together in trying [to make 'Hellboy 3']."

Actor Ron Perlamn, who portrayed Hellboy in both films, added, " “The two movies were really set up to have this unbelievable resolve. “Everything that was done in both movies was leading up to this destiny, written in stone, of what Hellboy has been summoned to Earth to do. To not do it, particularly in light of the scope that Guillermo is thinking of for the resolve, would be in my mind a little bit of a shame.”

Based on the comics by Mike Mignola, "Hellboy" was written and directed by del Toro and released in 2004. The sequel, "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" followed in 2008.

In addition to Perlman, the films starred Selma Blair as Liza Sherman and Doug Jones as Abe Sapien.

"Hellboy II" was somewhat of a box office disapointment, grossing only $75 million domestically, although it was an improvement over the original, which earned $59 million four years earlier.
