Although it’s been around since 1939, debuting about a year and a half before Captain America and just over half a year after Batman came on scene, Namor the Sub-Mariner was never filmed in live action. That will eventually change in November this year Forever cleansingWinuk Huerta who stars as Namur black panther 2Also known as Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. While we’ve known for months that Huerta’s Namor will be the main antagonist for the upcoming Marvel movie, the actor has confirmed another key detail about the MCU’s incarnation of the character: he’s a mutant.
Namor the Sub-Mariner in the comics is often called “Marvel’s first mutant,” in terms of the company’s publication date, not literally being the oldest mutant in Marvel legends (Wolverine and Apocalypse, among others, make it a hit in that category). Since Marvel Studios now had the ability to incorporate mutants into the MCU after Disney’s acquisition of Fox, which was holding the film rights to the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, it was easy enough to make Namor from the MCU a mutant in the MCU, which is just what happened, as Tell Tenoch Huerta empire.
This information follows a few months later Mrs. Marvell The epilogue revealed that Kamala Khan of Iman Vilani is a trans and not inhuman as in the comics. And as far as the MCU is concerned, Ms. Marvel holds the title of the franchise’s “first” mutant, it’s still good to hear that Namor’s mutant background has been kept. Although Namur from the comics is endowed with special traits due to its human/Atlantic hybrid physiology, ability to fly and superior strength compared to the average Atlantean stem of the mutated gene. Had Disney and Fox not been merged, these powers would have had to come from a different source, whether that was making Namor inhuman or classifying him as a generic “enhanced” individual.
Ultimately that wasn’t necessary, and now we have two mutants to account for in the main MCU reality (though let’s not forget Professor X in Earth-838, whom we met on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness). It also means we’re one step closer to the X-Men finally making an appearance in the superhero franchise, although it’s now unclear when that will happen. The Stage 5 lineup is locked and Stage 6 already has a lot in store between the Fantastic Four main team submission and 1-2 punches Avengers: Kang Dynasty And the Avengers: Secret Wars.
Going back to Namor the Sub-Mariner in the MCU, we also know that Tenoch Huerta’s version is inspired by Mesoamerican culture and history, and he rules the underwater Talocan civilization rather than Atlantis. As for why you clash with Namur? Black Panther: Wakanda ForeverIts protagonists, it is related to T’Challa’s fallout which reveals how far Wakanda is technically at the end Black Panther. As Huerta explained:
This decision puts Talocan at risk. The Talocans must take action to protect themselves.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever It will also see Namora and Atuma, two important characters in the Namor corner of Marvel lore, played by Mabel Cadena and Alex Livenale, respectively. black panther 2The cast also includes Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong’o, Danny Gurira, Winston Duke, Angela Bassett, Martin Freeman, Florence Kasumba, Dominic Thorne and Michaela Cowell.
