Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows' Brian Tee Expresses Interest in Playing Namor.

With Namor back in the hands of Marvel Studios many are quickly coming up with fancasts but TMNT:OOTS actor Brian Tee is the first to begin campaigning for the role of the Sub-Mariner.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight while promoting Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows Brian Tee, who plays Shredder in the new Turtles film, has expressed a profound interest in playing Namor the Sub-Mariner.

"This is what: Just saying, Marvel Studios just picked up the rights to Namor, who is the Sub-Mariner, and I would love to play the Sub-Mariner. I grew up as a comic geek and the Sub-Mariner is one of my childhood's fondest superheroes. I feel like I can play him! If there is one role, right now, that I would love to play, it would be Namor."

There's already art coppled together of Luke Evans as Namor, but what do you think of Brian Tee taking on Marvel's king of Atlantis?
It would certainly add more diversity to the MCU's cast of characters which many fans have been crying out for of late.

Question. Why should Nmaor be Asian? His father's name was Leonard Mckenzie who met with an Atlantean called Princess Fen who then fell in love and had Namor. I am all for diversity but nah keep him white. Make your own Asian character

@Sulti1274 - To make asian people feel more represented in their heroes, is it that hard to understand?
Also, Namor looks asian and maybe all atleantans look asian.

I want Namor in the MCU, but portrayed by someone else. Maybe Luke Evans?

I still think Toby Kebbell is the better choice, but if this guy gets cast I'm not gonna be hurt by it. He was great as Scorpion in the Mortal Kombat web-series
Matador

He might be good for the role.

Doesn't really matter who they pick brining this movie to life will be a huge pain in the ass. I'd say wait till Aquaman comes out to see how an under water movie does well.

Or hell do a little Mermaid live action and learn from that.

Brian already played a HYDRA Agent on an episode of Agents of SHIELD, who ended being killed (I think by Mockingbird). Remember watching it and thinking " What a waste". But the MCU has few doppelgangers lol
