Guillermo del Toro, writer/director of “Hellboy II: The Golden Army,” told SCI FI Wire that he would like to do a third film if the upcoming sequel does well, but no more.
“If there was ever a third one, I would really make sure that we at least sign a contract that there is no more,” del Toro said in an interview at New York Comic Con last week. “No prequels and no sequels: nothing. If that happens, then there is a third one we have planned, and the seeds are planted in this film.”
“Hellboy II: The Golden Army” departs from Mike Mignola’s comic books, with an original story that centers on a fantastical realm based on mythology created by Mignola and del Toro together.
If a third installment becomes a reality, del Toro said the story would shift back to the pulp mythology of the original comic-book series. “The idea for me is to bring back the Nazis characters, but bring them back in a way they would operate now,” del Toro said. “Meaning, what public face would the Nazis have in 2009/2010? How rich would they be? How in charge could they be? It’s not this group of freakies that hide in the sewers, but people that are incredibly rich.”
“Hellboy II: The Golden Army” opens in theaters July 11th.
