Director Guillermo del Toro has been talking a lot lately about his future projects such as Pacific Rim 2, Crimson Peak and the movie adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's At The Mountains of Madness, but this week he got to talk about one film that he will not make: Hellboy 3. Though fans would love to see a trilogy, del Toro recently explained why it won't be produced but also detailed his ideas for the story in a Reddit AMA!

"Well, you know, we don't have that movie on the horizon, but the idea for it was to have Hellboy finally come to terms with the fact that his destiny, his inevitable destiny, is to become the beast of the Apocalypse, and having him and Liz face the sort of, that part of his nature, and he has to do it, in order to be able to ironically vanquish the foe that he has to face in the 3rd film," the filmmaker explained. "He has to become the best of the Apocalypse to be able to defend humanity, but at the same time he becomes a much darker being. It's a very interesting ending to the series, but I don't think it will happen."

So why isn't the movie "on the horizon" to be made?

"Sadly now from a business point of view all the studios know is that you don't have that safety net of the DVD and video, so they view the project as dangerous," he said.
