Black Panther: Wakanda Forever looks set to be the best Marvel Studios movie since, well, Black Panther, and there's a lot of excitement among fans for Namor the Submariner's MCU debut. Played by Tenoch Huerta, this take on the character will hail from a South American Atlantis-like nation called Talocan.
However, while Namor's background may have slightly changed, his appearance has not. Yes, there have been some minor alterations during the transition from page to screen, but everything from the green trunks to the wings on Namor's ankles point to us getting a faithful take on the anti-hero.
This is evident from a closer look at the character that's come our way courtesy of some official toy packaging and promo art.
This Namor looks like he hails from an ancient civilization rich in history, and during a recent interview with Variety, Huerta opened up on getting to don that "amazing" costume for the first time. "It's your skin, your voice, your talent, your story. It's overwhelming," he said of the experience. "I’m excited and I’m so happy to be here."
"I want to say something really fast about inclusion. I come from the hood and, thanks to inclusion, I’m here. I wouldn’t be here without inclusion," he continued. "A lot of kids in the hood are here looking at us dreaming to be here. And they’re going to make it! They’re going to make it!"
It's going to be very interesting to see what Marvel Studios does with Namor, especially as fans have been waiting for his big screen debut since 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger. He could be a one-and-done foe or a recurring presence in the MCU, and we wouldn't bet against seeing him assemble alongside the Thunderbolts down the line.
