Howard the Duck may get a movie makeover from Marvel. George Lucas ignites hopes for a new "Howard the Duck" movie after the comment he made during a discussion moderated by Stephen Colbert about Hollywood industry at Tribeca Film Festival.

The worst-reviewed movie could "float up to the surface of the lake, and then they become cult classics. ... It means you made an interesting movie or a weird movie, and a small group of people love it," he said as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter.

"Even Howard the Duck is a cult classic," he added to applause from audience. "I have a feeling that Marvel's gonna redo it because of the technology they have today."
