Ron Perlman Talks Hellboy 3 Plot Details; Likely Not Happening

Actor Ron Perlman has expressed several times in recent months that he really wants to return for Hellboy 3, at one point begging fans to petition for it to be made. It unfortunately doesn’t seem like any progress has been made on that front, though Perlman did this week reveal story details.
In an interview with Empire, Perlman noted that he initially had little to no desire to reprise the fan-favorite role for a third time, though that all changed when Guillermo del Toro pitched him on the idea for a second sequel. Once he heard it, the actor’s crusade to get cameras rolling began.
“Guillermo told me what the resolve of the trilogy would look like, in broad strokes, and it’s such an amazingly theatrical, cinematic idea that I found it essential that we do it,” Perlman said. “We were designed to be a trilogy with a beginning, a middle, and an end. We’ve only done two thirds, so I feel that we’re not really done until we finish it.”
“Holy shit, he’s the beast of the Apocalypse,” Perlman went on to explain about the character’s motive in the potential third film. “He has to take down civilization. He has to. It’s non-negotiable. That’s the foundation for the story, and that’s why I think it would be a shame if we don’t do it.”
Hellboy II ended with the reveal that Liz Sherman was pregnant with Hellboy’s twins, and Perlman spoke a bit about how that would turn out for the couple.
“I’ll tell you this. The two twins: One would look like the mum, and one would look like the dad,” he said. “And one of them was going to be completely fucking corrupt, the other one angelic. Which one was which? Only Guillermo would make the fucked-up looking one be the angel. So then that adds to the saga.”
Please? Pretty please?!
