My kids were in town this past weekend so I went to see Groot — I mean Guardians of the Galaxy — with them. I’m not really fond of the Planet of the Apes movies, but I’ll try to join you for this one.

P.S. Howard the Duck made an appearance in the Easter Egg at the very end of Groot. Does that mean there’s a new HTD movie in the works?

Supposedly, the official word is "no." He's an incredibly hard character to work with, anyway, because his mere presence tends to annihilate the seriousness that most superhero movies rely on. 

That having been said, he's kind of sacred inside Marvel. Apparently they've worked him into every major line-spanning arc since the '70s. He was even involved in the Civil War. I'm assuming he was with Captain America and Nick Fury, but who knows, maybe he went with that fascist Iron Man.
