In an interview with Empire Magazine, Guardians director James Gunn shared some insight into what Howard’s future might be.
“I’ll be honest with you, I was just talking about it with my assistant right now,” says Gunn. “It’s possible Howard could reappear as more of a character in the Marvel Universe. But if people think that’s going to lead to a Howard The Duck movie, that’s probably not going to happen in the next four years. Who knows after that?”
For now, it sounds like Howard may or may not get some more guest star roles and cameos, but don’t expect a feature film with him as the star any time soon. But who knows? Maybe if his popularity continues to grow over the next few years, Marvel will give it some consideration.
You can see Howard the Duck in Guardians of the Galaxy, now playing in theaters.
