Del Torro had been very public several times last month that he was inclined on doing one more film in the superhero series. His tweets had sparked a lot of hopes in the fans who voted positively with full faith of seeing the next movie of the franchise.

He had stated in his tweet that the making of the part three would depend on the fans’ voting. The polls had also crossed the 100,000 mark. However, there was no official announcement from the director or any confirmation on part three.
