With Black Panther: Wakanda Forever set to hit theaters in just over a week's time, Marvel Studios has released a new featurette focusing on the MCU debut of Tenoch Huerta's Namor, who vows to lead the people of Talaokan in a war against the surface world - which will include Wakanda unless they decide to join his cause.

Fans have been waiting to see The Savage Submariner make the jump to live-action for many years, and director Ryan Coogler explains why he felt this sequel presented the perfect opportunity to introduce the character.

The video also includes some exciting new footage of Namor in action as he clashes with Wakanda's forces, and goes one-on-one with M'Baku (Winston Duke).

Check out the featurette below, and let us know how you've been pronouncing Namor all these years (Nay-mor, or Na-more)?

In Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Shuri (Letitia Wright), M’Baku (Winston Duke), Okoye (Danai Gurira), and the Dora Milaje (including Florence Kasumba), fight to protect their nation from intervening world powers in the wake of King T’Challa’s death. As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with the help of War Dog Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) and Everett Ross (Martin Freeman) and forge a new path for the kingdom of Wakanda. Introducing Tenoch Huerta as Namor, king of a hidden undersea nation, the film also stars Dominique Thorne, Michaela Coel, Mabel Cadena, and Alex Livanalli.

Full reviews are embargoed until November 9th, but critics were allowed to share their social media reactions last Thursday (you'll find mine below).

Very excited for Namor - he looks to be bad ass here. Definitely wish they just went with Atlantis but hey… I’ll get over it.

@TheLobster - Think they're just getting as far away from Aquaman associations as they can. Probably explains the race and culture changes also.

@ObserverIO - oh definitely. I just don’t like the name haha

@ObserverIO - They're not trying to get away from Aquaman. They're trying to check as many DEI boxes as they can. Marvel Studios is so powerful that they could easily have used "Atlantis" if they wanted to.

@TheLobster - I wouldn't be surprised if they have a line where he says something to Ramonda when she asks where he's from like "Over the ages my kingdom has been referred to by many names: "Atlantis", "The Sub-Mariner's Crib", "Jersey", but we are the Kingdom of Talocon!" (okay maybe not the latter two but you get my point).

The saddest part is the realization that they sell me this ridiculous shit as Namor at the peak of the CBM era. If I cant get the real deal now, I will never get it. Smh ...

Ot: in other water people based movie news this trailer was just perfection! And that’s coming from someone who really had no interest in this until now.

@TheFireForce - It actually looks more interesting than I was expecting, but am I the only one who thinks the uncanny valley is a little bit more obvious this time around? Visuals look really stunning either way.

@Kumkani - personally i didn't notice the uncanny valley as i was just too immersed with those visuals. I legit am stoked to see this on the big screen even if it is just another Pocahontas story but just add water.

@TheFireForce - Looks stunning and shows how shitty and rushed the CGI of Marvel and DC films is.

Namor looks amazing here. Love that Atlantis has a slightly primitive but ethereal vibe to it. Not just advanced underwater city. They look very “one with the ocean”

I'll be probably sitting there waiting for him to shout IMPERIUS REX! ... Knowing he'll most likely never say it.
