  … because there’s only two movies.
  Did you at least read the summary?

    Thats what I thought I just thought something may have skipped by. Also do you know if Ron is completely out of doing HB again?

      Perlman said when the 2019 movie was being planned that without Del Toro, he wasn’t interested, and Del Toro isn’t interested in doing it at this point.

      The 2019 movie was a reboot rather than the third movie, even though it was originally meant to be the third.

      This new one is another reboot.

      Ron is in his mid 70s now. I don’t think he is up for all that makeup and physical work anymore

  Money.

  As well loved as the first movie is, and to a lesser degree the second, they weren’t big enough money makers at the time, so nobody was willing to pony up and make them

  Why?

  Mignola:

  From what I understand, it would have been amazingly expensive, following up two movies that didn’t make money.”
