Comic -Avantures of Helboy have yet to stop. Even after the world itself ended up in the story "The Devil you know", creator Mike Mignola and Co. They have repeatedly re -examined the world of Helboy with various retraining stories.

In contrast, the original silver screen Helboy, played by Ron Perlman and directed by Guillermo del Toro, remains in limbo. "Hellboy III" has been a dream for almost two decades, the one that is unlikely to ever become a reality. Perlman claims to come back if Del ToroBut Mignola moved the franchise to two consecutive (and disappointing) reboot.

How would Hellboy III be? The magical second film "Helboy II: Golden Army", " Initially included a post-credit scene to directly tease the trilogy finale. This Stinger, never filmed, would resurrect the first movie villains: Gregory Rasputin (Karel Born), the Russian crazy monk and his Kiborg killer Carl Ruprecht Cronen (Ladislav Beran).

"Hellboy II: The Art of the Movie" includes a page describing the discarded scene. Five helicopters belonging to Roderick Zinko ("billionaire, crazy") fly and land in Antarctica. Zinko enters an underground laboratory left by the Nazis, filled with "tanks, weapons and mortal rays of a bad novel in the 40s", including a headless robot. Then, Zinko reveals the cut head of Cronen (stored in a liquid jar) and fastens it to the robot. Zinko sees his and the spiritual master of Cronen, Rasputin, reveals himself and promises "This will be the end of it ..."

As early as 2007, It was reported that Beran was returning to return to Kimo at Helboy II. But despite Del Toro's desire to include the scene, "there was no way to put it with budget or time. I thought it was the perfect Koda and a beautiful placement of a possible third film. "

The scene was do, but only as a comic book. Going away from the stage, as described in "The Art of the Movie", the Komik Movement with Zinko and his people who engage in the Siberian layer of Rasputin from the first film to return the corpse to Cronen opens.

In Helboy, Rasputin and Cronen are those who called the young Helboy on the country in 1944, the entire part of the so -called Ragna Rock project.

Rasputin (magician and adviser to Nikola II, Russia's last king) was historically killed in 1916, killed by Russian aristocrats who considered a negative impact on the king. However, his malicious reputation and appearance mean that he has endured as a villain in pop culture, which often portrays him as A. Original A dark wizard, not a charlatan. Sir Christopher Lee starred in Rasputin in 1966 Hammer Horror Film, "Rasputin Crazy Monk", and unwanted Rasputin (expressed by Christopher Lloyd) is the villain of Don Blatt in 1997 Disney-Ich Anastasia Music. What does Nicholas II imagine to survive the October Revolution.

In Helboy, Rasputin returned from his death thanks to Ogdo Yahad, seven ancient dragons and prophecied asters from the apocalypse. Finding a new goal for the beginning of the end of the world, Rasputin lowered his way into the inner circle of Hitler, as the king had. He sold the project Ragna Rock as the last effort for the axis to conquer World War II, but his real plans would be seen by the Nazis to be exposed with the allies.

As for Cronen, he is a Nazi scientist and one of Rasputin's chickens. In comics, he is "normal" (as much as the Nazis) and a fairly worldly villain, noticeable only for his robotic gas mask. Del Toro's "Helboy" took that detail and made Kronen in Cyborg, with double paddles on the hands and speeds for heart watches; He is so past his natural life expectancy that bleeding dust. As for me, these changes made Krononen in an unforgettable villain.

Mr. In that comic book, he was also a wicked industrialist who fell under the control of the Duputin doll and worked alongside Kronen. Zinko does not survive "Wake the Devil", but his corporation in Zinko and its later leaders are becoming villains in the spin-off comic book, "BPRD".

The first film by Del Toro, Helboy, widely follows the first comic bow, "Seed of Destruction" and ends in the same way. Rasputin, holding himself hostage to Liz Sherman, is trying to force Helboy to call on Ogdo Yahad. Instead, Helboy rejects his fate and destroys Rasputin. In "Wake the Devil" and the bow after the "worm conqueror", Rasputin returns as ghosts of other villains in the service of his plans to destroy the world.

In "Wake the Devil", Rasputin's pawns are Zinko and female Nazi Ilsa Haupstein (who wants her vampire Lubisher Vladimir Uuruersescu to return to her). In the "Worm conqueror", it is Herman von Klampt, an unwanted Nazi scientist who survives as a head in a jar. The look of Cronen in this Stinger definitely evokes von Klimp. Probably, Del Toro was planning to merge the two villains, using the design of FON Clip for an upgraded roof, rather than introducing an unprecedented member of the Ragna Rock project.

"Wake the Devil" has previously inspired the animated film "Hellboy" Blood & Iron, produced by Del Toro and unveiled the cast of his films. Will Del Toro also use the story to complete its trilogy? It's hard to say, especially since the films "Helboy" have already changed A. a lot From comics.

In the films, Helboy and Liz share a romance they never had in comics. In "Hellboy II", Liz tackled the Angel of Death to stay a hand from a deadly wounded Helboy. If he is spared, the angel warns, then he will one day be - no matter how long he is, he will accept his fate as demon Prince Anung Un Rama and end the world. But Liz says it's fair trade; She is pregnant, and her twins will need their father.

Ron Perlman confirmed That the children of Helboy and Liz would naturally play a big role in the third film: "Someone would look like a mother and someone would look like daddy. And one of them will be completely corrupt, corrupt, king, corrupt, the other angelic. Who was who?

In the 2019 commentary on the director of "Helboy", Del Toro described that first film as "the story of two fathers with one son", which means prof. Trevor Brutenholm (Johnon Hurt) and Rasputin and their common son, Helboy. One raises him as a man, the other pushes him to be a devil. The next step will be for Helboy to become a father himself, but according to Perlman, our hero still could not fight the fate of the end: "(Helboy is) the apocalypse. He must remove civilization. He. Must.

The Toro Del Toro himself made similar and more detailed commentsFor his planned "Hellboy III" in 2014:

"The idea of ​​it was to finally come to terms with the fact that his fate, his inevitable fate is to become an astver of the apocalypse and to face him and Liz, that part of his nature and he must do so, so that he can ironically to beat the enemy he has to face in the 3rd movie. At the same time he becomes a much darker being. "

Who would this enemy be? Rasputin once again, as this deleted post-credit scene suggests? Hatk, a snake Greek goddess of witches and the other main villain in "Wake the Devil"? Azael, Father of Birth of Helboy? Nimue the queen of bloodThe villain of the 2019 Restarted Film "Helboy" (was it the first planned "Golden Army")? Or a completely original villain, just like Del Toro's villain, created by "Helboy II", Elf-Prince Nuada (Luke Goss).

Mignola declined Del Toro's desire to turn "Hellboy III" into a comicSaying that he preferred to keep Helboy's films and comics in separate media. Although Mignola's Helboy never became a father, his comic saga eventually had a similar fatalist end as Part Toro predicted. In the "Devavol you know", the world ends up in the fire, and then Helboy surrenders to Hacat, sacrificing himself so that his blood can flow around the world and the new life can extract from the remains of the charred.

Helboy really has two fathers - Mignola and Del Toro - and like many real parents, they had different visions and disagreements about the road their child should take. I wish we could see, in full, where both paths would lead.
