This article (http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=3&id=38427) at SciFi.com has Guillermo hinting at another Roger sighting.

And here's an excerpt from a longer interview (http://www.darkhorizons.com/news06/deltoro.php):

Del Toro hopes to return to mainstream Hollywood and shoot Hellboy 2 in April, this time for a different studio, and promises it will be radically different from its predecessor. "My idea with Hellboy 2 is that it's almost a rephrasing. You don't re-enact the franchise you reinvent it. My favourite movies are like Evil Dead 2 which is basically reinventing Evil Dead 1, so I would hope Hellboy 2 could be taking what I learned from Hellboy 1 and reinventing it."

Though Del Toro has only directed a handful of films, the striking aspect of his latest work, is its sense of visual depth and sophistication. The director is surprised at how sophisticated a filmmaker he has become, combining his own personal artistry with that of an action or genre director. "Its funny because when I read my first review in The New York Times and later I met the reviewer she said to me, 'I thought you were 70 or 80 cause the movie was very sedate and very sort of like a mature movie'. I felt that's funny because back then I had another crazy guy in me wanting to do action and sort of comic book things. So I think that when I got to Hellboy or Blade I purged out a lot of that guy and I was able to reapproach Devil's Backbone or this movie and was able to release all that energy. So now I was able to approach this more securely and I think that if you watched the movies I've done, the story is more or less successful every time, but the craftsmanship is more and more secure."

where did killer robots come from?

i thought the second movie would focus on the supernatural world grounded in folk tales, myths and fairytales. which is as far away from nazis, killer robots and android gorillas as possible....

maybe he is talking about the "golden army"... but i always assumed that they would be more magical and less science based. golums and animated stone rather than wires and transistors...

Just have faith Michael that those in control know what they're doing. :) I didn't read anywhere in Guillermo's interview that he will be omitting the more fairy realm oriented creatures for the Nazi stuff. Also, these descriptions tend to change quite abit depending on at what point of the production the director is interviewed. Guillermo seems like the kind of director who will approach the script in a very organic way anyway, allowing things to develop on set that may not have occurred to him when writing the original screenplay. In other words, things could change in subtle ways, but I doubt we'll see dramatic shifts.

Makes me think of the army in Hollow Earth quite a bit.
Looking forward to it more and more!

All characters except Myers returning? I hope that means more Manning

I'm tellin' you guys, in HB3 we need a part of the movie where Roger comes to life inside his case in the hallway outside Hellboy's room. Simple and effiecient, though maybe having a scene early in the movie were someone talks about the on display Roger, where they found him, ect. would work. With a little foreshadowing it would be more natural.
