Could This MCU Character Be Making A Comeback?

I think that the appearance of Howard the Duck in Guardians of the Galaxy was probably the best surprise for me out of the whole film.  James Gunn has long said that Howard the Duck was one of his favorite comic books to read while growing up.  So could we be getting to see our favorite foul mouth Fowl make another appearance?  Or, better yet, could he be getting his own movie that takes place in the MCU?  This past weekend at the Heroes and Villains Fan Fest in Atlanta, comicbook.com's Brandon David attended a panel that had some of the stars of Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 on it, and he reported on what Dave Batista had to say on the matter:


"As long as there’s a James Gunn directing the film, there’s a possibility of a Howard the Duck."


This isn't the first time that the subject has come up.  Even Gunn himself weighed in on this topic a couple of years ago.


"I'll be honest with you, I was just talking about it with my assistant right now.  It's possible that 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?"


Even George Lucas, who produced the 1986 live action film, thinks that there's room for a Howard the Duck remake.  While he was attending the Tribeca Film Festival last year, he was quoted as saying, "Even Howard the Duck is a cult classic.  I have a feeling that Marvel's gonna redo it because of the technology that we have today." 


So whether or not we get to see Howard making another appearance in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 it doesn't sound like it will be that last we see of him.  Would you want to see an updated movie starring Howard the Duck?  Let me know your thoughts in the comments section down below.
