(November 2010) () During its initial theatrical release in North America, a set within the Hellboy universe was released around the time that of the film entitled for, and, released on June 24 in North America and August 15 in Europe. Despite its close release date, promotion alongside the film and featuring voices of the same actors, the game is not a direct with the plot not being related to that of the film but instead follows an original story where Hellboy investigates operations in under, an antagonist from the comics. Zinco epilogue [ ] Included as a special feature on the DVD is an animated comic that foreshadows the events of the next film. In the Zinco Epilogue, a group of men go into Rasputin's tomb and find Kroenen's body. After bringing Kroenen to a doctor along with instructions to revive him with an alchemical manual, Zinco and his party travel to an arctic cave with Zinco as the only survivor. Upon entering the cavern, Zinco opens a container he has with him containing the preserved head of Kroenen and attaches it to a giant robot. As soon as it is attached, the cyborg awakens and the spirit of Rasputin appears, stating that he has one more job for him. Future [ ] Canceled sequel [ ] Del Toro has expressed interest in a sequel, saying, 'I think we would all come back to do a third Hellboy, if they can wait for me to get out of, but we don't know. Ron may want to do it sooner, but I certainly know where we're going with the movie on the third one.' On May 30, 2010, Guillermo del Toro dropped out of directing. In June 2010, Del Toro speculated that Hellboy III might happen after his next project, but said that the screenplay had yet to be written. On July 14, 2012, after being inspired by a recent function in which Ron Perlman appeared in full Hellboy makeup for a terminally ill boy, Del Toro stated, 'I can say publicly that now we are together in trying [to do Hellboy 3]'. On April 5, 2013, in an interview with, Hellboy creator commented that the possibility of a third Hellboy film seemed unlikely, stating 'The biggest problem I see as far as PR for the next billion years is explaining endlessly. That there's no Hellboy 3 movie'. On June 30, 2013, del Toro discussed the possibility of developing Hellboy 3. He stated: 'I hate giving pieces about it, but last night, we were at dinner and Ron said, 'I would be very happy to do Hellboy again, when are we doing Hellboy 3? Said, 'I would love to see Hellboy 3.' He didn't say he would love to do it he just said he'd like to see it, but today, I'll ask him.' Ron Perlman added his support for the idea, stating: 'Not just anybody can make this movie. I loved working for Legendary and I know for Guillermo working on was one of his greatest experiences. The reason I loved working for them is because Guillermo was so happy. I came in six months into the shoot and he seemed as fresh as a daisy, simply because he was working for someone who appreciated and supported his outlandish visions of what he wanted to put on the screen. My immediate, silent wish was, wouldn't it be great if these guys came in and helped resolve the Hellboy series.' Del Toro suggested telling the story of Hellboy 3 in comic book form, but Mignola vetoed the idea. On June 30, 2013, in an interview, Ron Perlman spoke about Hellboy 3 saying, '[ Hellboy 3] needs to be twice as big as Hellboy 1 or Hellboy 2. It's all of these oracles coming home to roost with these apocalyptic things taking place, Guillermo's version of this resolve in the trilogy is epic in scope. Not just anybody can make this movie. It has to be somebody who's no stranger to this sense of scope. For me to do Hellboy 3, it could kill me – in terms of physically demanding, for a guy my age, but it's worth it because anyone who sits and listens to Guillermo's version of how this thing ends is completely seduced. It's so theatrical and compelling and if you liked the first two movies in any way, shape or form, this is the ultimate one-two punch.' On July 11, 2014, in a AMA, Del Toro said, 'Well, you know, we don't have that movie on the horizon, but the idea for it was to have Hellboy finally come to terms with the fact that his destiny, his inevitable destiny, is to become the beast of the Apocalypse, and having him and Liz face the sort of, that part of his nature, and he has to do it, in order to be able to ironically vanquish the foe that he has to face in the 3rd film. He has to become the beast of the Apocalypse to be able to defend humanity, but at the same time he becomes a much darker being. It's a very interesting ending to the series, but I don't think it will happen. We have gone through basically every studio and asked for financing, and they are not interested. I think that the made its budget back, and a little bit of profit, but then it was very very big on video and DVD. The story repeated itself with the second already, it made its money back at the box office, but a small margin of profit in the release of the theatrical print, but was very very big on DVD and video. Sadly now from a business point of view all the studios know is that you don't have that safety net of the DVD and video, so they view the project as dangerous.' In July 2015, del Toro said that might fund Hellboy 3 if does well at the box office: “The hard fact is that the movie’s going to need about $120 million and there’s nobody knocking down our doors to give it to us. It's a little beyond.” After del Toro left the director's chair for Pacific Rim: Uprising, the deal fell through. However, on September 25, 2016, ScreeGeek.net reported that officially announced in his account that he was working in a new Hellboy film, although it's unclear if there will be a sequel or a reboot. In February 2017, Del Toro announced via Twitter, 'Must report that 100% [ Hellboy 3] will not happen.' Canceled spin-off [ ] In 2010, Hellboy screenwriter was asked by Universal to script a spin-off centring on Prince Nuada, and provisionally agreed that Briggs could direct the film in New Zealand. Briggs began work on an outline with co-writer Aaron Mason. Titled Hellboy: Silverlance, the script was a story featuring Abe Sapien as the main character with Hellboy in a supporting role. Moving into the new B.P.R.D. Headquarters in Colorado, Abe is troubled by his psychic connection with Princess Nuala, and begins researching the elves' history. The film would have shown Nuada's adventures throughout history, including his rivalry with a fairy courtier who orchestrates Nuada's exile in hopes of marrying Nuala and seizing control of the fairy kingdom; Nuada first meeting Mister Wink by saving him from a troupe of soldiers during the; and Nuada in, engineering a pact to keep various supernatural entities safe during (with Nuada and Kroenen fighting in a 'friendly' match for Project Ragnarok men.) Universal wanted to proceed, but it emerged that del Toro's Hellboy 3 was still a possibility, so Silverlance was shelved. Doug Jones would have played both Abe and the Angel of Death, who strikes a bargain with Nuada. 's Agent Myers would also have returned. The story climaxed at the new B.P.R.D. Headquarters, with the return of 's summoning gauntlet. In 2015, Briggs received another call from Universal, saying that Hellboy 3 had been cancelled and asking him and Mason to return for a reworked Silverlance, with producer involved. The caveat was that Hellboy could not appear, but the writers managed to get the character a cameo appearance at the climax. If successful, the film would have launched a From the Files of the B.P.R.D. Spin-off series. In May 2017, Briggs affirmed that, with the announcement of the Hellboy reboot, the Silverlance project was dead. Main article: About 2014, Mignola, writer, and the producers began work on the story for a new film. The project was initially intended as a sequel to del Toro's films, but Perlman was unwilling to star without del Toro involved. When joined, it was decided that the new film would be a. On May 8, 2017, it was announced that was in negotiations with producers Larry Gordon and for a film with the working title Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen, with Marshall is in talks to direct and star expected to play Hellboy. Hellboy creator Mike Mignola will co-write the script with Cosby and. Mignola posted on his Facebook page saying that the reboot would be R-rated. On August 8, 2017, confirmed that the project would finally only be known as Hellboy. References [ ]. Retrieved October 10, 2015. Box Office Mojo, LLC.
