‘Black Panther 2’ Star Named as the MCU’s Namor for the First Time (wegotthiscovered.com)

"There’s been a lot of speculation that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is about to introduce another of the Marvel universe’s hidden kingdoms into the MCU for the first time. Namely, it’s widely believed that Ryan Coogler’s sequel could see the warriors of Wakanda come up against the armies of Atlantis, as led by the underwater city’s king, Namor the Sub-Mariner. What’s more, Narcos: New Mexico star Tenoch Huerta has been rumored to be playing that all-important role.

To date, Marvel Studios has yet to either confirm or deny the veracity of these rumors. However, we may have just taken one major step towards Huerta being officially announced as Marvel’s Namor. In a new profile interview with the actor, Vice specifically cites Huerta as being on board Wakanda Forever as Namor. What’s more, Vice may have confirmed he’s the villain of the piece in the same breath, teasing that he’s going to “break even badder” as the character, who they describe as an “antihero.”

As the focus of this interview is on Huerta’s tireless activism and anti-racism campaigning, it doesn’t feature any direct quote from the star about his Marvel Studios role. However, this isn’t a mere misprint as the piece further states that Huerta learned the Mayan language for his portrayal of Namor, suggesting the MCU version of the sea-dwelling monarch will be inspired by ancient Mayan culture. It’s also noted that a press aide accompanied the star to this interview to ensure he didn’t say too much about how he fits into BP2."

Making waves as an antagonist towards the surface world and the African kingdom of Wakanda, the hybrid-mutant Namor is the reigning ruler of the undersea kingdom of Talokan, replacing Atlantis and the Atlanteans of the Marvel comics. Like Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) — who suits up in the Black Panther sequel before returning in Ironheart on Disney+ — Namor could be the next MCU newcomer to headline their own Wakanda Forever spin-off.

 

"We'll see," Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige told Namor cosplayer @namorcosplay about a Namor movie at Wednesday's Black Panther 2 world premiere. Feige added a Sub-Mariner spin-off "depends on this": the reaction to Wakanda Forever.
