It arrives on 22nd April 2019 and brings with it a fully-loaded blu-ray set with extras galore.
Lucasfilm’s Howard the Duck was directed by Willard Huyck from a screenplay co-written with his wife Gloria Katz. The pair worked on American Graffiti, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and did script work on A New Hope, adding in the humour the script needed.
And don’t forget, while the Marvel Cinematic Universe is slaying all before it – Captain Marvel just dropped $455 million in the global box office this weekend – this Lucasfilm production was one of the earliest bigscreen Marvel entries.
