Ron Perlman Raring to Go on "Hellboy 2"

by | March 7, 2007 | Comments

Production on "Hellboy 2: The Golden Army" gets underway in May, and leading man Ron Perlman is hard at work pumping iron and eating pizzas.

Mr. P seems to enjoy his voice-work on the animated "Hellboy" spinoffs, but he also seems more than a little pumped to get back together with old pal Guillermo del Toro. Perlman promises that the "Hellboy" follow-up will be a bit more "epic" than its predecessor, but also that the wonderfully childish mega-hero will also be the center of attention. (Sounds good to me!)

Perlman also gets a little defensive when asked about Senor del Toro’s non-win at the Oscars: "I felt he was robbed. Guillermo’s movie was flawless from beginning to end and didn’t look like anything you’d ever seen before. He set a new bar." He’s talking about "Pan’s Labyrinth," of course.

As you probably recall, Ron Perlman and Guillermo del Toro also worked together on "Cronos" and "Blade 2."
