Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy 3 will always live in infamy as one of the most famous comic book movies that was never made, and based on the quality of the first two installments, there was every chance we could have been talking about one of the genre’s all-time great trilogies.
For well over a decade following 2008’s The Golden Army fans waited with bated breath for any sort of update on Big Red’s third outing, but despite coming tantalizingly close on several occasions, Hellboy 3 never managed to get the go-ahead to start production. Del Toro and his star Ron Perlman knew exactly what direction the story was headed, but like a large number of projects that the Pan’s Labyrinth director signs on to, nothing ever came of it.
What we got instead was a reboot, which turned out to be so unbelievably awful that many people were left scratching their heads wondering why del Toro and Perlman never got the chance to bring their trilogy to a close following two critically-acclaimed movies in a row when studio execs were willing to fund a $50 million dumpster fire that tanked at the box office and was savaged in almost every review.
With both the original and rebooted takes on the character dead in the water, you would have thought that Perlman would have given up on the idea of getting back under the makeup for one final round. However, despite claiming in the past that he’d moved on, the actor confirmed that he most definitely hasn’t when revealing he still holds out the tiniest shred of hope for a return.
“There’s always a little ember, that lives deep within me, that says maybe one day Guillermo will wake up and go, ‘You know what? F*ck, we need to finish this trilogy’. But, that’s where we were, one film away from finishing. But then, every time I see how busy he is and what he’s engaging himself in, it doesn’t seem like it’s realistic. It doesn’t seem like it’s ever going to happen, but that doesn’t prevent me from living in hope.”
Given that Guillermo del Toro has an entire Wikipedia page dedicated to the movies and TV shows that he didn’t make, it unfortunately seems more remote than ever that Hellboy 3 will ever happen, and that’s saying something for a project that’s been caught up in so much will they/won’t they speculation over the years.
It’s finally the weekend and though you might expect the best incoming streaming content to be saved for the start of July, there’s actually plenty to keep subscribers to Netflix and all the major services occupied, as each site is adding some great new titles over the next few days.
Today, Friday the 26th, saw a bunch of notable new releases, including Netflix’s Will Ferrell-starring musical comedy movie Eurovision and Amazon’s secret agent comedy My Spy, with Dave Bautista. It’s no doubt something you’ve seen many times before, but Disney Plus finally just added Avengers: Infinity War as well, so you might want to give that another watch – for the 100th time. And, in case you missed it, Hulu also added the 2019 reboot of Charlie’s Angels yesterday.

In terms of sheer volume of new content, Disney Plus clearly takes the crown this weekend.

Plus, there’s Into the Unknown: The Making of Frozen 2, which you may wish to catch if you’re an Arrendelle enthusiast.
Over on HBO Max, the highlight of this weekend’s additions has to be the extended director’s cut of Mike Flanagan’s Doctor Sleep, the sequel to The Shining starring Ewan McGregor that came out last fall. If you haven’t watched it yet, do yourself a favor and go fix that. Meanwhile, if you’ve ever wanted to see Harry Potter‘s Daniel Radcliffe lead a crazy action film, then Guns Akimbo is for you. Catch it on Prime from today.
