Del Toro Says Hellboy 3 is 'Unlikely At This Point'

It didn't have enough to draw any real interest. It was basically another Transformers movie. I was actually surprised Del Toro wanted to make something like that. But to each their own.
Giant robots fighting giant monsters. That's all that was needed. I was expecting another Pan's Labyrinth.
I'm not saying he can't, I'm saying it's possible he could pass on it or the studio would give it to someone else.
Anything is possible. It's also possible he'll change his mind and make Hellboy 3.
His interests are elsewhere. That and whatever the studio's reasons are is what's preventing him from doing it.
Right now he is. As I've said, things change in Hollywood all the time.
It isn't. It's still a matter of if and when the studio decides to move on it.
So if it's not moving forward, where's the danger of him having to be replaced as director? You can't have it both ways. He needs to be replaced as director because he's working on all these other things; the movie's not moving ahead right now.
And it's been 6 years since the last one
How long was it between Indiana Jones sequels?

With all the good action and effects, any movie will sink without a good story and good characters. Not sure where you're going with Pans Labyrinth.
Meaning I wasn't going in expecting the characters to be the highlight of the movie. That being said, I still enjoyed Mako's journey, and of course, Idris Elba's always good.
Even if he did, it's not up to him. "Unlikely" regards many factors other than himself.
Weren't you using the fact that he's not moving ahead as why it's unlikely. Now, it's not up to him?
Apples and oranges. Those movies were huge and had huge followings, all on another level greater than "Hellboy". How many of them were made again?
The fact remains: time is clearly not an impediment in Hollywood. So there is no danger of "too late" as long as the surviving participants are still wiling and able.
Can't stop the signal.
