Default I'd love to see Marvel Studios do a Howard The Duck film

I'd love to see Marvel do a new Howard film, ever since that cameo at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy, one of Marvel's funniest and weirdest characters Howard The Duck could be given another chance on film and his cameo stunned fans of the anthro character from the Steve Gerber comics.

It can be called Marvel's Howard: A New Species of Hero! It can star Emma Watson as Beverly Switzler and The Ringmaster can be the villain, Seth Green can reprise his voice role with WETA doing the effects. Who can play The Ringmaster?

It can have a cameo by Ant-Man or some other Marvel character! And the film can be a bit like Deadpool in it's deadpan sense of humor and all. Maybe also have him in Guardians 3 be nice with Silver Surfer.

I mean if the original film was considered a failure (even though it's a guilty pleasure of mine) just like how the Fox Daredevil film was considered a failure (but good in it's director's cut which is better than the butchery) as Fox gave back the rights to Daredevil to Marvel Studios as Marvel made people like Daredevil better as much as Fox made Deadpool likable than Wolverine Origins then Marvel/Disney can make Howard likable again even have James Gunn-co write the script and have a talented comedy director who is a fan of the source material for the job. And if audiences accepted a talking raccoon, maybe this duck is next and based on the modern incarnation from the recent comics.

It is a shame that Marvel is no longer doing the One Shots, as Howard the Duck would certainly make for a good one.

Lucas has retired and he disowned the original film since he produced the original film.

Need a quality talented comedy director who is a fan of the original source material who grew up with the source material.

Cast Lea Thompson's super-cute daughter, Zoey Deutch, as Beverly.

It should be an R rated film in the same vein as Deadpool.
Howard the Duck was never a "kid"friendly comic book.
It doesnt have to be gory or nasty but it shoudnt try to be a middle of the road comedy.
Hes not Tony Stark.
And remaking the first film is just fail territory.

Heh, I mentioned that a few months back when I saw her in Dirty Grandpa and Everybody Wants Some. That would be hilarious if she were cast as Beverly in a new Howard the Duck movie. Marvel could redeem the property.

James Gunn would have to write/direct. Not even a matter of debate.

A low budget $60ish million dollar quasi remake would be great. They could push the limits of PG-13 and replace the bad words with duckisms instead. I couldn't see a $100+ million blockbuster ala Guardians. I would say a TV series but the CGI would make the budget huge

Well it can be a blockbuster as Marvel makes major hits you know and knows how to take risks and make money like Ant-Man and Guardians.

I mean if audiences accepted a talking raccoon, they can accept Howard too.
