Hellboy Vs. Eclipso

 

I was interested to read that Ron Perlman say that, despite now being in his 70's, he is willing to do one more movie to finish out his Hellboy trilogy if the studios want to make it and if Guillermo Del Toro is ready to direct.  I'm guessing this would ignore the ill-received reboot from a few years ago.  I know I'd be interested, but I'm not holding my breath waiting for Universal Pictures or whoever has the rights today to greenlight the project. I'd definitely want Liz to return as well, but Selma Blair has her own medical issues these days, I don't know how much acting she still does.  Still, I'd love to be pleasantly surprised, I like the first two Hellboy movies quite a bit.

    Me, too, Ross. As far as I'm concerned, the un-chocolatey reboot was just a movie within a movie. A fund-raising front for the BPRD, just like the Hellboy comics!

    @Cary: Based on this idea, in the highly unlikely event that a third film is made, I think it should open with Hellboy watching the reboot on TV, just to canonize it as such.

    @Bob & Cary: Oh! Oh! And, to really have fun with that, have it be telecast as an MST3K offering!

    Ron Perlman is an awesome actor. I'd love to see him as Hellboy again, too. Or practically anything else he was in.

    @Ordinaryguy2: I can just picture Vincent from "Beauty & The Beast: TOS" tearing apart the Borg like Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. ;-)

    @Cary: Better yet, Vincent tearing apart Borg with Wolverine!

    Say, speaking of Wolverine, I just realized that we went through the entire 20-year period of X-Men movies without once getting a Fastball Special. Who'd be appropriate for that classic maneuver with him in his blog? Well, Hellboy is one possibility.

    Bob, Ben Grimm and Mary Marvel did one back in 2011 - https://braveandboldlost.blogspot.com/2011/02/thing-and-mary-marvel.html

    Unnecessarily so, considering Mary can fly (though that cover is still great-looking). Plus, the Fastball Special really needs Wolvie to work right.

    What if it's Mary who makes Ben the fastball? LOL!
