It’s apparently obvious to Guillermo del Toro that already there’s some demand for a third HELLBOY movie, even though the second entry doesn’t hit theaters until July 11. Obviously, the new film looks really terrific (I’m even more convinced of this after seeing an extended trailer ar New York Comic Con) and there’s probably a limitless amount of tales Hellboy and his crew can take part in… Well, maybe not limitless.
“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 told Sci Fi Wire. “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.”
So what might the thing be about? “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.”
Sounds pretty juicy. del Toro’s fascist obsession is beginning to rank up there with Spielberg’s – but as long as he’s making creative fantasy/horror, who’s complaining?

Selma Blair’s probably down for part III… Hell, probably down for anything!
