So will Abe Sapien have a bigger role in Hellboy 2? That is exactly what we wanted to know and we had the chance to ask Doug Jones at the Masters of Horror 2 launch party that was held at the Ivar Club in Hollywood , California.

Doug reveals that while shooting Pan's Labyrinth in Spain , Del Toro stated that Abe will indeed have more screen time and that this time he gets a chance to fight some baddies. He admits that he has not yet read the script but that Guillermo promises that Abe will be on an equal playing level with Hellboy.

Doug throws out a cautionary quip regarding Abe. Guillermo told him fans may be angry with what he plans to do to our favorite amphibian although Doug says he has no idea what that might be. He quickly asked Del Toro if he planned on Hellboy 3. Guillermo said yes. Jones said good, he just wanted to make sure.

While that may be a bit ominous sounding, it is still a bit early to tell what Guillermo has planned for Abe considering that the first script already has gone through some changes.
