But it seems we're going to have to wait a while before we see what he's got in store for the movie, based on DC's ongoing series which features a team of supernatural heroes led by John Constantine.
The filmmaker has told Total Film that he has has a writer on board, and is about to pitch to DC Comics and Warner Bros. But he's keeping details under his hat… for now.
"I am going to be presenting my storyline to DC and Warners of where I want to take this universe," he said. "We do have a writer, but until that is firmed up, I have to keep it a secret. I hope it happens."
Del Toro did reveal that he plans to draw from the origin stories of characters including Demon Etrigan, Swamp Thing and Deadman in the movie.
"I'd love to use the origins that are proper to each character. I love the idea of Jason Blood as a paladin and a knight," he added. "I love the entire Constantine mythology, the Deadman mythology, the Alec Holland Swamp Thing mythology. These are really rich things to well, and to dig."
Whatever happens, we're confident this is going to be all kinds of brilliant.
