Guillermo del Toro: ‘Everything that could go wrong went wrong’ on His Best Movie That He Had to Make at the Height of Superhero Madness

Pan’s Labyrinth remains the best film of Guillermo del Toro among the many projects he’s done throughout his career, and its success is a testament to its timeless quality and an enduring storyline that resonated with many fans.
He released the movie at a very crucial time in the industry, and he admitted to feeling the temptation of choosing a big-budget movie over his passion project.

We cannot blame him, though, because this was also when the superhero genre was taking off. As one of the most brilliant filmmakers in Hollywood, he was offered to take on commercial projects, which was also a big deal, but in the end, he chose to do Pan’s Labyrinth after receiving a sign from the heavens.
