Confirmed: Hellboy 3 is off the table

That's the end of that chapter.

While both Hellboy and Hellboy 2: The Golden Army failed to strike a chord with a larger audience, many die hard fans of the character and of director Guillermo del Toro have been stubbornly hoping for a third instalment. It seems that he's been working hard on making a sequel happen, but now he's finally ready to throw in the towel.

Over on Twitter Guillermo del Toro confirmed that Hellboy 3 is completely off the table: "Hellboy 3 Sorry to report: Spoke w all parties. Must report that 100% the sequel will not happen. And that is to be the final thing about it."

Are you disappointed, or was it always an inevitability that Hellboy 3 wouldn't happen?
