Ron Perlman has admitted that 'Hellboy 3' will "probably never happen".
Although the 65-year-old actor has advocated for a third movie in the comic-book series, he now appears to have come to terms with the idea that it might never become a reality.
Speaking at the Guadalajara Festival in Mexico, Ron said that 'Hellboy 3' will "probably will never happen, though you never say never never".
Ron's comments are surprising as he has previously insisted he, director Guillermo del Toro and the cast and crew owed a third movie, featuring the devil-horned hero, to fans.
He has said: "Let me make the record clear. I don't want to do 'Hellboy 3'. It's a pain in the ass to put that makeup on and take it off. But I feel we're obligated to finish the story. That's it. End of conversation."
And he has also insisted that he was happy to "force the conversation".
He said: "I got no problems with forcing the conversation, as you can tell. We're in the business of moving mountains. Those of us who are used to working in mainstream film and television. Don't come to me with details and problems. Just tell me how we move the mountain."

Julie Walters was "derailed" by fame.
The 'Mamma Mia' star admits there was a time when she felt as though she was the "best thing since sliced bread" and thought anyone who didn't employ her wasn't worth bothering with.
She said: "Looking back, fame derailed me a bit. It was a surprise when people would come up to me and say, "Ooh, aren't you in that film?" In my ignorance, I mistook that for someone saying I was a marvellous actor. Of course they weren't. They were just gawping.
"But at the time, I just embraced it. I had this huge superiority complex. For years I thought I was the best thing since sliced bread, and if somebody didn't employ me, then they weren't worth working for. That's gradually been chipped away."
When she was younger, the 66-year-old actress worked in nursing for a year and a half and feels it "opened her eyes to suffering and death".
She shared to The Times magazine: "Working as a nurse opened my eyes to suffering and death. You can have this compassion mixed with love for somebody you don't know at all.
"I remember thinking, 'This is somebody's child,' or, 'This could be my dad.' People might imagine I'm a bit dotty, but I'm not the sort of person who is fazed by somebody collapsing or getting ill. When I make a bed with a flat sheet, I still do the same proper corners."

Gal Gadot never wanted to play "the girlfriend".
The 30-year-old actress - who will be seen as Wonder Woman in the much-anticipated new movie 'Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice' later this month - has always wanted to portray "stronger female roles" rather than the male leads sidekick or "damsel".
She said: "I've always wanted to play stronger female roles and I turned down many parts where I would have had to play 'girlfriend kinds of roles or the damsel in distress. I knew I didn't want to do that.
"It wasn't my nature and I didn't want to represent women in that way. I told my agent that I wanted to play independent women and not go after sexy or obvious kinds of roles"
The actress can be currently seen next in 'Triple 9' alongside Kate Winslet and Chiwetel Ejiofor and will debut this month in 'Batman v. Superman' prior to her standalone 'Wonder Woman' movie next year.
And the star is looking forward to playing the character for years to come.
She told Total Film magazine: "I'm looking forward to it all. I'm a woman who has very high expectations and wants to be the best at everything. I sometimes think maybe I put too much pressure on myself but my mother raised me to be ambitious and every time I stat to worry too much I think about how my mother has led her life and what she has taught me."

Shakira asked for her 'Zootropolis' character to be "a little curvier".
The 39-year-old star voices pop singer Gazelle in the upcoming animated movie and asked for her to be redrawn because she felt she was too skinny and not projecting the best image.
She said: "I don't believe in trying to be super-slim and when I signed on to play Gazelle I looked at the original drawing and said, 'The first thing you've got to do is put some meat on those bones!'
"Because, poor Gazelle, she was too fit for me so I asked them to make her a little curvier and give her bigger hips, and luckily they listened.
"I think it's important young girls shouldn't be too influenced by pictures in the media of very slim people, because to tell the truth, a lot of those pictures they see in magazines have been Photoshopped to hell.
"We should all be happy with the bodies we have."
The 'Hips Don't Lie' singer - who has sons Milan, three, and Sasha, 16 months, with partner Gerard Pique - could see a lot of similarities between herself and Gazelle.
She told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "When they first told me about her, I immediately said, 'That's me'.
"But when they told me the plot of the film, and about the main character, who is a little bunny who dreams big dreams, I also said, 'That's me too.'
"I remember being a little girl in Colombia dreaming about being an international singing artist - and what were my chances of having that happen?
"But it was my dream and so I fought for it all the way."

Neve Campbell was offered "three horror films" in a week after 'Scream'.
The actress was cast as survivor Sidney Prescott in Wes Craven's slasher franchise, appearing in all four films from 1996 to 2011, but is still haunted by the part after she became the queen of the genre,
She said: "I was offered three horror films last week."
And the 42-year-old actress is relieved her stint in the film series is over now.
She said: "I'm so glad those days are over. I felt I was being forced into being something I wasn't - all the time."
The star - who has a three-year-old son, Caspian, with her partner JJ Feild - has joined political drama 'House of Cards' in its fourth season and is delighted with her new role.
She said: "I couldn't have asked for a better role after a few years away having a child. I don't want to carry a network show.
"I don't want to give up 10 months, working 17 hours a day, up at five in the morning. Not with a three-and-a half-year-old son. I don't crave that attention. I've had it, don't need it again. So this is perfect."
The Canadian actress stars alongside Kevin Spacey as President Frank Underwood and Robin Wright - who plays Frank's estranged wife Claire - as a hard-boiled political fundraiser sucked into the vortex of Frank's relentless campaign for political domination.
And she admires Robin for both her portrayal of Claire, and for directing several of the season's episodes.
She said: "She's driven to go beyond acting. I'm not so driven. I don't have control issues either."

Amy Adams wants a part in 'Star Wars: Episode VIII' or 'Episode IX'.
The 41-year-old actress is obsessed with the latest movie in the sci-fi saga, 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' and is willing to play anything in one of the upcoming next instalments.
She said: "We'd figure it out. I'll play a creature! I don't care. Put the dots on my face and I'll crawl around.
"[A Wookiee?] I think more an Ewok, considering my stature."
The red-haired actress would also love to be a Bond girl but doesn't think she has the physical characteristics to be "mysterious" enough.
She said: "I mean, I'd love to be a Bond girl. But it would depend.
"I don't see myself like Eva Green, she's so gorgeous and mysterious, I don't see myself like that."
However, Amy - who has daughter Aviana, five, with husband Darren Le Gallo - is planning to slow down her workload for the sake of her family.
She told Britain's GQ magazine: "I made my career a really big priority when I was younger, and I don't regret the work I did, but I really regret the time that I missed.
"So maybe I don't do four films a year now. Maybe I can take a step back.
"I still want to work, but it's got to make sense.
"For the next four or five years, the choices I make are going to have a lot to do with how it fits into life, you know? And it's gonna have to be OK."

Richard Gere says people were scared and thought he was "dangerous" when he dressed as a homeless man for 'Time Out of Mind'.
The 66-year-old Hollywood star portrayed down-and-out George for his latest role and was intrigued by the public's reaction, who, when they saw him with a cup and dressed in rags, feared him on location in New York.
He explained: "We shot out on the street with very long lenses and because I was in character, people did not see an actor, they saw this homeless guy. I could see them from two blocks away, making a decision about me that had nothing to do with reality. I'm not an aggressive character in the movie but even the mere fact I was still in a city where everything was moving and had a cup in front of me was enough for people to make a snap decision that I wanted something or I would be dangerous.
"During a scene in Grand Central Station with hidden cameras, no one made eye contact and I got quite bold ... apart from two African-Americans at the end of that day who acknowledged me in passing, they were like, 'Hi, Rich'. It was like, 'Oh, even movie stars have rough days!' "
Gere was so eager to get the film - which was made in documentary style and is a compassionate view of life on the streets - out to audiences he financed it himself because he thinks the message is so important.
He told the Metro newspaper: "The original script was more traditional that I had wanted, so I ended up buying the script and developing it. I knew I had to make a neo-realist movie, so it would feel like a found object. It was about taking everything out that felt theatrical."

Daisy Ridley felt a huge "sombreness" on set the day Harrison Ford finished shooting 'Star wars: The Force Awakens'.
The 23-year-old beauty - who joined the science fiction franchise as Rey - revealed the atmosphere was notably sad but "poignant" when the veteran actor filmed his last ever scenes as his iconic character, the space smuggler Hans Solo, on 'Episode VII'
She recalled: "I remember going in the day he and Adam (Driver) were doing that scene and there was a real sombreness in the air. It was very strange and poignant. But the last day he made a great speech, and it was really nice because he's really great at speeches."
The young star witnessed the special moment the 73-year-old actor - who starred in the original trilogy - addressed the cast and crew for the last time, and vocalised many of the emotions that they were all experiencing.
But, Daisy was glad to see that he enjoyed the moment.
She added: "He really put into words what we were all thinking. There was a huge amount of appreciation. I think he - I don't want to speak for him - but I think he enjoyed it maybe, not more than he thought he would, but it was so enjoyable, the whole thing. And I think that took people by surprise."
Meanwhile, London-born Daisy says it wasn't difficult keeping details of franchise a secret, including refraining from commenting on the rumours that her character was Hans Solo's daughter - which turned out to be untrue - because they all wanted to keep the "magic" of 'Star Wars' alive.
She told 'Entertainment Tonight': "We were keeping this wonderful magic alive. And it paid off!
"The thing I found funniest is that I was the child. People were so presumptuous, like, 'You're Han Solo's daughter!' And in my head I'm like, 'How do you know? Have you seen the movie?' Clearly not, because I wasn't. That was a funny one."

George Clooney would like to see a change in the way films are financed.
The 54-year-old actor claims a movie won't get the funds it needs to get the project off the ground unless it features one of the most sought-after names in the business.
And he believes things need to change, especially since stars aren't pulling in viewers at the cinemas.
George said: "The studios give you a list of five names on a piece of paper. If you don't put one of those names in your film, it doesn't get financed. It doesn't matter what I'm doing; that's the list of names.
"I'd like to see that list change a little bit, especially as, more and more, the star system isn't filling seats."
George, who married Amal Alamuddin last year, made the transition in 2000 from his role in US drama series 'ER' to an actor who has gone on to win three Gloden Globes and starred in numerous hit films, including 'Batman', 'Out of Sight' and 'Ocean's Eleven'.
His latest role in 'Hail, Ceasar!' sees him play a Hollywood heartthrob.
He told the Guardian newspaper: "I'll say this honestly: I wasn't paying attention to it at all. I thought we'd ticked that box, and it feels like we've slipped, considerably. It's something we have to pay attention to."
