with Black Panther<\/em>, director Ryan Coogler broadened out the scope of the MCU significantly. The arrival of Wakanda in all its glory felt like a whole new world had opened up \u2013 a place that had audiences clamouring to return to (which, luckily, they soon did in Avengers: Infinity War<\/em>). And while long-awaited sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever<\/em> will in part take audiences even deeper into the technologically-advanced African nation, Coogler’s upcoming movie will also introduce viewers once again to a whole new world: Namor, Marvel’s infamous Sub-Mariner, is coming \u2013 and he’s taking us beneath the waves.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

A mainstay of Marvel Comics since the late ’30s, Namor \u2013 also the leader of an advanced civilisation \u2013 has often clashed with Black Panther on the page, making him a prime candidate to strike up some drama in Wakanda Forever<\/em>. \u201cThe contrast between T’Challa and Namor \u2013 their characters, and their nations \u2013 just leaps off the page,\u201d says Coogler of the comic book runs. \u201cHe’s a dream antagonist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Namor will be played here by Mexican actor Tenoch Huerta, previously seen in The Forever Purge<\/em> and Tigers Are Not Afraid<\/em> \u2013 with this incarnation of the character inspired by the culture and history of Mesoamerica. \u201cYou can take Atlantis from Greek myth, or you can adapt from a real culture,\u201d argues Huerta. Rather than the ruler of Atlantis, on the screen he’s the ruler of Talocan \u2013 and he’s drawn to the surface by the ramifications of T’Challa’s decision in Black Panther<\/em>‘s final reel to reveal the truth of Wakanda to the world. \u201cThat decision puts Talocan in jeopardy,\u201d Huerta explains. \u201cAnd Talocan has to take action to protect themselves.\u201d One detail that work<\/em> carrying over from the comics? According to Huerta, his Namor is indeed a mutant.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

For comics fans, it’s a chance to finally see one of the longest-running Marvel characters finally take to the big screen \u2013 though there were initial plans for Namor to be teased a few years ago. \u201cRyan had a pitch for a tag at the end of Black Panther<\/em>,\u201d Marvel boss Kevin Feige reveals. \u201cThe camera would push through the palace in Wakanda, and then we’d see wet footprints leading up to the throne.\u201d Get ready for the ultimate clash of kingdoms.<\/p>\n
