Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania writer Jeff Loveness recently indicated that Tenoch Huerta's Namor will be part of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, no great shock after his standout performance in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
By the time that sequel wrapped up, Namor had been defeated by Shuri but reached an uneasy alliance with Wakanda he hoped would mean they'd eventually fight alongside Talokan. Those machinations might need to be put to one side, however, especially with a threat like Kang (and his many Variants) on the horizon.
Talking to The Wrap this week, Huerta addressed his MCU future as Namor with two Avengers movies heading our way.
"Honestly, I don’t know. I hope so," he said of a possible upcoming return. "Please tell the people to send tweets and letters to Marvel because I would love to appear in the next movie, but I don’t really know."
"I was talking with [Werewolf by Night star] Gael Garcia Bernal and he said, 'Something that is funny with Marvel, everybody around knows everything about your character except you.' And that happened to me!" The actor would, however, note he'd "love" to join The Avengers.
Something Huerta could discuss was the impact playing Namor has had on his career and Hollywood in general.
"Now I have the opportunity to choose better and more projects," he tells the trade. "I’m planning to make my own company to produce bilingual content."
"In terms of representation, what we want to show to the people about us, the representation of us, made by us, which is the important thing. It is not just [enough] to be in front of the camera, but who is telling the tale, who is the storyteller? That for me is more important, even more than to be in front of the camera."
What are your hopes for Namor in the MCU moving forward?
