Kevin Smith has confirmed that Hulu have cancelled his proposed animated take on Marvel comic book fave “Howard the Duck”.
Smith, who was to write and executive produce the series, tells Newsarama that writing staff of the cartoon was notified on January 22 that development was halted.
“I got a text from [fellow executive producer] Dave Willis in the morning saying, ‘We got Tigra and Dazzler’d,'” Smith said. “I called him and asked ‘Is that what I think that means?’ And Dave said he had just got the word that there will be no Howard the Duck show. The only explanation was ‘We have no plans for this character at this time,’.”
Another series, “Tigra & Dazzler” has also been canned.
“Howard the Duck”, “Tigra & Dazzler”, “M.O.D.O.K”, and “Hit Monkey” were all part of a linked cartoon universe set to stream on Hulu. All four series were set to build to a crossover called “The Offenders”. Only the latter two will go ahead now.
