Trivia

 * In the comic books, Howard was abducted from his home planet by the extra-dimensional overlord Thog and brought to Earth. It is not known if this will be explored in the film.
 * Howard actually made his first theatrical debut in 1986 in his own solo film. The film was universally panned and is widely regarded as one of the worst films ever made.
