A Marvel movie arrived early and was such a flop that it even affected the career of its protagonist.
Since howard the duck appeared in the post-credits scene of Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) Marvel fans hope it will have its own movie or series of Disney Plus. But you have to remember that there is a movie about that character from the eighties.
The leading actress of howard the duck (1986), Lea Thompsonhas revealed how detrimental it was to his career to make that movie based on a character from Marvel.
“It was devastating. Over the course of a year I was in the biggest hit and the biggest bombshell, so it probably destroyed my movie career. Although I made some good movies after that, it was really hard.”
The actress refers that it premiered in a short period of time the success made Return to the future (1985) and the failure of howard the duck, which cost about $30 million to make and grossed $38 million worldwide. It must be recognized that outside the saga Return to the future his career has no other shocking success. But who knows if now I might have a new chance at Marvelsince they need more and more actresses for all the characters that they introduce in their Cinematic Universe.
