He also says that a third installment of Hellboy “is a wish that will never be fulfilled [because] the first two movies made really good profits on a market that doesn’t exist anymore.” As to a stage musical version of Pan’s Labyrinth, his 2006 horror fantasy, del Toro says: “We have all the songs” and an announcement is expected soon.
