Over the weekend, MTV Splash Page editor Rick Marshall headed to Chicago for the inaugural C2E2, shorthand for Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo, where he got to talk with some luminaries in the field. One notable name he got some face time with was Mike Mignola, the creator of "Hellboy." Guillermo del Toro, director of the first two movies in that franchise, is busy with "The Hobbit" right now, but Mignola remains hopeful that there's a future for it. There's been some informal talk, but nothing beyond that. The comic book writer also revealed that there's was at one point to include a certain character from the comics in "Hellboy II: The Golden Army." You can get all of the details on that and more at MTV Splash Page.

And then she'd come back triumphantly, 'I knew they were just werewolves! I knew they were a werewolf family!'"

Could 'Hellboy III' Mean The Death Of Hellboy? We Ask Creator Mike Mignola

Posted 8/6/08 10:23 am EST by Brian Jacks in News

Hellboy FROM SPLASH PAGE: Guillermo del Toro talks about the “Hellboy” movies being a trilogy – what with the first film being about his birth, the second his teenage choices, and the third about becoming an adult and facing the consequences of those choices. “The third one would be facing your destiny, if such a thing exists, and making the ultimate decision,” del Toro says. Tantalizing, but vague. So we asked “Hellboy” creator Mike Mignola to clarify – what would the final installment be about, besides bouncing Hellboy babies? Turns out, quite a bit. Read More...
