Seth Green recently opened up about the possibility of Howard the Duck appearing in Avengers: Doomsday, telling fans not to get their hopes up.
What did Seth Green say about Howard the Duck’s Avengers: Doomsday status?
Speaking to The Direct, Green — who played Howard the Duck in his brief cameos throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe and in Marvel’s What If…? — was asked about the character showing up in Doomsday. Green jokingly replied that he has “zero confidence that that’s ever going to happen.”
“I’m pretty sure I would have heard earlier that that was gonna happen,” Green said. “Nobody gave me a tip sheet or teed me up with talking points . . . So no, I have zero confidence that that’s ever going to happen.”
Despite that, Green said he considers playing Howard one of his “greatest privileges,” and does genuinely love it.
“No, nothing of any substance . . . I love [playing the character]. It’s one of my greatest privileges. You don’t even know, man, how much this means to have done it in all the ways that I have. It’s awesome.”
The cast for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, even without Howard, is going to be massive. So far, several major stars from the MCU have been confirmed to be in the movie, including Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby’s Invisible Woman/Sue Storm, Anthony Mackie’s Captain America, Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Letitia Wright’s Shuri/Black Panther, and Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man.
