Ron Perlman Is Hellboy Again For Make-A-Wish
Written on July 6, 2012 by Brendon Connelly in Film

It seems that I’m not the only one wanting to stop by the Spectral Motion workshops and see their magic with my own two eyes. According to an update on their Facebook page, they’ve played host to two young Make-a-Wish kids in just the last three weeks.

In one case, the wish was to meet Hellboy. Ron Perlman, of course, obliged. Here are some images of him back in the make-up, and then the young wisher getting his own sawn-off horns.













That makeup isn’t fun – just check out any interviews with Perlman or Del Toro on why there’s not going to be a third Hellboy film. Knowing about the discomfort just underlines this gesture.

And Zachary, if you or your Mom or Dad happen to read this, I’d just like to say how superb it is that you didn’t want to meet Superman, Spider-Man, Batman, or Iron Man. You wanted to meet Hellboy. Top class, young man!

That last one was really good & mildly successful if I remember correctly. Del Toro though seems to be the problem there though. If not, get Perlman for more superhero films!

Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman are in San Diego for Comic Con and were approached once again about the prospects of Hellboy 3. Both have said that they would like to do it, but didn't ever see it happening. Most fans had come to the sad conclusion that Hellboy's destiny that was spoken of in the previous two films would be left unfulfilled.

But things change. A six-year old who is battling leukemia is a huge fan of the films and request for his Make-A-Wish that Hellboy come and visit him. Perlman donned the costume once again and made a very sick child quite happy. That boys wish came true, but it also had another effect.

Del Toro says the event was also a factor in helping to bring himself and Perlman together on making a third Hellboy. “I’ve encountered a lot of kids who are fans of the movies,” said del Toro, “but to hear the story of this kid who was watching the movies while going through treatment, it really just moved me a lot.” The director stresses that he hasn’t yet approached Hellboy creator Mike Mignola on the prospect of a Hellboy III, nor is a studio signed on yet. But, he says, “We’re going to make an effort to do it. I hope it happens.”
