Blade II and Hellboy director Guillermo del Toro may never be involved in another comic book film, at least for the foreseeable future.

The filmmaker himself indicated he was done with comic book movies in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. Asked if he would venture into the genre again, Del Toro said, "I don't think so. I wanted to do Justice League Dark [with] DC very, very much, but it didn't happen."

The last comic book film that he was involved in was Hellboy II in 2008, a film he wrote and directed based on the Dark Horse comic series of the same name. "When I was doing the Hellboy movies or Blade, you know, they were counter to [how] everything was being done... and so it was fun to break the rules there," he explained. "I think that Justice League Dark was attractive… because they're all monsters... But I was never a superhero guy. I like monsters."

That much is clear from the filmmaker's film history, which includes cult classic films like Pan's Labyrinth, Pacific Rim and The Shape of Water, all of which feature monsters of all kinds. His latest project, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, features several monsters and is based on a short story collection. Del Toro stated in the interview that he would be interested in adapting more of those stories, should this latest film perform well enough.
