Larryw7 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Universal still owns the rights to Subby. Hopefully they can make a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 Quote According to Bleeding Cool, Namor's rumored MCU debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is viewed by Marvel Studios as "akin to Black Panther's appearance in [Captain America:] Civil War" in regards to its aspirations to launch "an upcoming franchise." "I am told that Marvel Studios consider Namor's appearance in Black Panther 2 to be akin to Black Panther's appearance in Civil War to set up an upcoming franchise." The report continues by sharing that Black Panther 2 will focus on "Namor The Sub-Mariner, his cousin Namora and Atlantean warlord Attuma" as the underwater kingdom wages war with Wakanda. "Much of the reported gossip elsewhere of large has concerned the role of Namor and Atlantis. That there is a war between Wakanda and Atlantis. But Bleeding Cool has heard that there will be a focus in the movies on the characters of Namor The Sub-Mariner, his cousin Namora and Atlantean warlord Attuma."

Bosco685 Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 Whether the show happens or not, this is an interesting twist on the character to differentiate from Aquaman. Then it won't look like a character swipe to the general audience. Larryw7, Microchip, media_junkie and 1 other 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TupennyConan Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) It's common for one culture to rename another culture's villages, cities, country. Plato might've labelled this Mayan or Mayan-adjacent civilization Atlantis. In that sense, the Mayan origin may be an addition to rather than a deletion of existing comics cannon. If Disney's desire is to market to Latin America, what's wrong with business? If it's woke, again, so? Call it exploitation if you like. The result is the same. The business practice is the same. Marvel has been adding gender- & race-swap characters [along with sidekicks] since its own origins. Did Stan do the ASM drug issues for social reasons or business reasons? 'Death of' stories are another kind of exploitation. Exploitation is a kind of business gimmick. Much of what we dismiss as wokism today might be interpreted as marketing 101 tomorrow. In the end, thank goodness for Luke Cage, imho. I hope that Namor spends most of his time above water, is a semi-villain, sports ankle- wings, & is Marvel's First Mutant who was around during WWII, covertly fighting alongside Cap.

It only takes one character to pay the bills. 80 years & thousands of characters later, Marvel has Spidey who is so terrific Marvel recently enough introduced Miles & Spider-Gwen.

I don't think I'll ever see the Momoa Conan. No offense to him but I don't think he's right for the role. From all I know, the movie resembles a turd. In my mind, it doesn't exist. Do I care? Nope, not a bit. Do I care that Marvel had Conan running around NYC with the Avengers the past few years? Nope, not a bit. I'll never read those books. They don't exist. I'm a Namor fan. If the MCU bungles him, I won't care. I've got the comics. They turned Mar-Vell into a bureaucratic grandma. I'm a Mar-Vell fan. Don't care about the MCU version. I've got the comics.
