Show Could Howard the Duck be appearing in She-Hulk? A French magazine licensed by Disney hints at the anthropomorphic duck's live-action MCU return.
 Howard the Duck may be set to return to the MCU in Disney+'s She-Hulk. Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black) will bring Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk to the MCU in the upcoming Disney+ series. The show will be led by showrunner Jessica Gao and will see Mark Ruffalo and Tim Roth return as Hulk and Abomination. While a release date for She-Hulk has not been set, the series is expected to release ten episodes this year. Once named as one of Marvel's oddest characters, Howard the Duck was created by writer Steve Gerber and artist Val Mayerik in 1973. Lucasfilm and producer Gloria Katz brought the anthropomorphic duck trapped in a human world to the big screen in 1986, but the live-action Marvel comics adaptation was a disaster and is often considered one of the worst movies ever made. Still, Howard the Duck was introduced to the MCU in the Guardians of the Galaxy post-credits scene as a part of the Collector's destroyed menagerie, and he makes quick cameo appearances in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Avengers: Endgame. Then, in a wild move true to his comic book origins, Howard the Duck (voiced by Seth Green) married Darcy Lewis in Disney+'s What If...? episode 7. Now, there are reports that Howard the Duck will be returning to the MCU in live-action. An observant fan, @tuttiquantinoob, noticed Disney teasing Howard the Duck's return in She-Hulk in Picsou Magazine, an officially licensed French magazine and reported the find on Twitter.

Despite Howard the Duck's absurd premise, his appearance in She-Hulk would not be as random as it seems. Howard and Jennifer Walters have already appeared in crossovers together. In the 1980s, Howard the Duck appeared in Sensational She-Hulk #14, and since he frequently acts as a private detective in the comics, he and Jennifer cross paths during her law career. Adding to that, Endgame has already established the groundwork for Howard the Duck being on Earth with a quick cameo among the Ravagers. Although there's no guarantee that Howard remained on Earth after the Avengers' battle against Thanos's army, this would also follow Howard's classic comic tagline, "Trapped in a World He Never Made." So far, there hasn't been any additional word about Howard the Duck's return outside of this small excerpt, but considering the magazine is an official Disney license, it seems likely. Because She-Hulk will take a more typical comedic approach than other series in the franchise, it would also be the perfect vehicle to reintroduce Howard to the MCU without disrupting its tone. Without any further information on the grumpy duck's return, fans can only hope to see Howard the Duck again soon.

Ever since Kevin Feige teased the arrival of various other characters in She-Hulk during 2020’s Disney Investor Day, however, numerous theories have flooded the web. While it would make sense for more grounded Marvel characters to show up, there have been rumblings that the series will open the door for characters with similar abilities to Hulk to appear as well. One character most people probably wouldn’t expect to show up is Howard the Duck. Thanks to a French Disney magazine, the character’s appearance is casually confirmed.

has to be approved by US Disney Mothership... Hinting that Howard will be in She-hulk?? What??? #Marvel #shehulk https://t.co/eK4MPqe12p Roughly translated, the passage reads: “Howard the Duck seems to be part of Marvel’s plans again… The She-Hulk series, which lands this year on Disney+, could have some “what the duck” surprises in store! This should please lovers of the turbulent duck, who is always determined to do as he pleases.“ Despite being introduced in cosmic sector Marvel’s Cinematic Universe initially, it isn’t all that surprising that Howard the Duck would cross paths with the show’s protagonist Jennifer Walter. In the comics, the character has worked as both a private investigator and an agent for various organizations over the years. At one point, he even helped scrub the universe of the undead in the original Marvel Zombies series. If true, it’d be interesting to see who he’s working for and how exactly he found his way to Earth in this particular timeline. We previously saw the character arrive with “Party Thor” in What If…? Only time will tell if this magazine is telling the truth. With it being a publication approved by Disney, however, we’re willing to bet our money that it is. She-Hulk will follow Tatiana Maslany’s Jennifer Walters as she juggles being a lawyer and a superhero with powers similar to The Hulk. In the comics, Walters develops superhuman strength and transforms into a milder version of The Hulk after receiving a blood transfusion from Bruce Banner, her cousin. It remains to be seen whether or not the show will follow that storyline, or if it will introduce Maslany’s character post-procedure. In addition to Maslany. Mark Ruffalo and Tim Roth will reprise their role as the Hulk and Abomination respectively. The series will also star Ginger Gonzaga (Space Force) and Renée Elise Goldsberry (Hamilton). Jessica Gao (Rick and Morty) will serve as the series writer, while Kat Coiro (the upcoming film Marry Me) and Anu Valia (Shrill, Love, Victor) will divvy up directing duties.
