Seeing as how Guillermo del Toro is tied up in New Zealand for the next couple of years with The Hobbit, it appears that a Hellboy 3 may not be possible soon. However, a spinoff may come up.

Talking to MTV News, he revealed that he has given his blessing for another filmmaker to take the director’s chair for a potential B.P.R.D. spinoff while he is occupied with his other projects.

BPRD began in the comics after Hellboy decided to officially leave the bureau. It follows the remaining members as they take on a plague of demonic frogs, amongst other supernatural beings.
