Oh, New York Comic Con is often a time of much rejoicing as the great news and rumours arrive by the truckload.
But sometimes, in among the sweet, is a little sour that you just have to swallow down.
One such example was the news from FTN favourite Ron Perlman earlier today. Perlman, who played Hellboy in the Guillermo Del Toro movies, has been a champion for the third movie for long and many a day, but it seems the fight is over.
And Perlman – and the fans – are the losers.
At NYCC today, the actor said the third movie will “probably will never happen, though you never say never.”
He added: “We [he and Del Toro] don’t talk about that anymore. Because he’s busy, and I’m busy. Maybe one day he’s going to call and say, ‘Hey, let’s do it.’ But for right now? We’re happy discovering new worlds to conquer.”
We, if we’re honest, had feared we’d seen the end of Hellboy – until the inevitable reboot down the line – but we’re still more than a little sad.
Perlman was at NYCC 2016 to promote Guillermo Del Toro’s Trollhunters TV series which, frankly, looks like a lot of fun.
Trollhunters is an epic saga from master storyteller Guillermo del Toro featuring a group of friends who discover a fantastical new world wrapped beneath their home town and who will face a battle between good and bad trolls. All episodes available on December 23, 2016.

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
