In case you missed it, Hellboy is undergoing a reboot directed by Neil Marshall and starring Stranger Things‘ David Harbour. This new take is going down the R-rated route and has been given the title Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen.
Previous Hellboy star Ron Perlman has already given his stamp of approval, and now director Guillermo del Toro – who had been lobbying hard to make a third film in the franchise – has weighed in with his thoughts.
Speaking to THR, del Toro said: “I don’t own Hellboy, Mike Mignola does. So, you know, he is the father of the character and if he wants to reboot it, it’s perfectly fine. I got to make two – that’s two more than I thought I would get to make … So you know, as far as I’m concerned god speed and god bless.”

Even though it isn’t Hellboy 3, Guillermo del Toro does have The Shape of Water releasing this fall to satisfy his fan base.
