On July 10, 2008, del Toro expressed his interest in directing a third ''[[Hellboy]]'' film, saying that he would work on the film after finishing ''[[The Hobbit (film series)|The Hobbit]]''.<ref>[http://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/more-related-content/?relatedmovieid=771034116/ Archived copy] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161119120405/http://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/more-related-content/?relatedmovieid=771034116%2F |date=2016-11-19 }}</ref> In 2010, during the production of the unmade ''At the Mountain of Madness'', del Toro mentioned that he would direct ''Hellboy III'' after his next project, even though the script was not yet written.<ref>[https://collider.com/2010/06/25/guillermo-del-toro-interview-the-hobbit-hellboy-3-frankenstein-at-the-mountains-of-madness-saturn-and-the-end-of-days/#more-34233 archived copy] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101206020646/http://www.collider.com/2010/06/25/guillermo-del-toro-interview-the-hobbit-hellboy-3-frankenstein-at-the-mountains-of-madness-saturn-and-the-end-of-days/ |date=2010-12-06 }}</ref> However, on July 8, 2013, del Toro said that the film was unlikely to be released, and suggested the possibility of telling its story in comic book form. The ''[[Hellboy]]'' creator [[Mike Mignola]] refused to accept the idea.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://collider.com/hellboy-3-news-guillermo-del-toro/ |title=HELLBOY 3 News; Guillermo del Toro Says HELLBOY 3 is Unlikely to Ever Get Made {{pipe}} Collider |website=[[Collider (website)|Collider]] |date=8 July 2013 |access-date=2013-07-08 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130710225239/http://collider.com/hellboy-3-news-guillermo-del-toro/ |archive-date=2013-07-10 }}</ref> In a [[Reddit]] AMA on July 11, 2014, del Toro said:
<blockquote>"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 third film. He has to become the beast 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. ... We have gone through basically every studio and asked for financing, and they are not interested. I think that the first movie made its budget back, and a little bit of profit, but then it was very very big on video and DVD. The story repeated itself with the second already, it made its money back at the box office, but a small margin of profit in the release of the theatrical print, but was very very big on DVD and video. 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."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2agklw/i_am_guillermo_del_toro_director_writer_producer/ciuvi56/ |title=GuillermoDelToroHere comments on I am Guillermo del Toro, director, writer, producer.
