Throughout a latest interview with The Direct, Inexperienced was particularly requested concerning the chance that he might present up within the subsequent large team-up coming within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and he seems to be fairly pessimistic concerning the concept. With Avengers: Doomsday already in manufacturing, he figures that he would have heard a couple of half for Howard The Duck by now, and he hasn’t gotten a name. Stated the actor,
I am fairly positive I might have heard earlier that that was gonna occur. No one gave me a tip sheet or teed me up with speaking factors… So no, I’ve zero confidence that that is ever going to occur.
For what it is value, Seth Inexperienced’s Howard The Duck probably is not the one Guardians of the Galaxy character being ignored of the combination for Avengers: Doomsday. Of the handfuls of stars which were confirmed to be within the 2026 blockbuster, none of them are heroes or villains from author/director James Gunn’s cosmic facet of the MCU. This even contains Chris Pratt’s Peter Quill a.okay.a. Star-Lord, who was promised to return on the finish of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
Seth Inexperienced final voiced Howard The Duck in Season 3 of Disney+’s animated What If…? collection, and based on the actor, there have not been any discussions about him bringing the character to a different live-action challenge. That being stated, if he by no means will get the possibility to voice Howard once more, he seems like he would not maintain it in opposition to the parents at Marvel Studios. Commenting on whether or not or not he is heard something, Inexperienced stated,
No, nothing of any substance…I like [playing the character]. It is one in every of my biggest privileges. You do not even know, man, how a lot this implies to have completed it in all of the ways in which I’ve. It is superior.
That includes a forged that features Robert Downey Jr. as Physician Doom, Infinity Saga heroes (Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, and Tom Hiddleston), the roster of the New Avengers (Florence Pugh, Wyatt Russell, Lewis Pullman, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, and Sebastian Stan), the Unbelievable 4 (Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach), the unique X-Males stars (Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, and Kelsey Grammar), and extra, Avengers: Doomsday started manufacturing earlier this yr and is scheduled to reach in theaters on December 18, 2026.
