“Howard the Duck” could be getting his MCU close-up, courtesy of Lea Thompson. The actress, who starred in the universally panned 1986 film of the same name, has volunteered to direct Howard in a “Marvel reboot.”
“Howard the Duck” was trending worldwide on Twitter on Thursday following the release of a trailer for Marvel Studios’ upcoming TV series “What If,” which features a cameo from the disgraced duck. Although much of the commentary centered around the absurdity of his inclusion (despite the character’s origin in Marvel Comics), Thompson took the conversation in an entirely different direction.
