![]() Atlantis and Wakandaįun story: Namor’s human father met Namor’s mother while he was on a resource hunting expedition in the Antarctic. I can’t imagine they’ll recast him in this movie. I don’t think anyone knew exactly what to expect out of our first look at Wakanda Forever, but I’m fairly sure it wasn’t “everybody crying and watching it over and over again,” and yet… This trailer masterfully reminded us of what a tremendous loss Boseman’s passing was. What this trailer made abundantly clear was that this movie will be honoring Boseman and his character. After Chadwick Boseman’s tragic death in 2020, there was some question about what was in store for the character moving forward – would they recast or just put a new character under the mask? There was plenty of precedent for the latter in the comics: Shuri spent a lot of time as Black Panther in the late aughts and early 2010s. We get one glimpse from behind of someone in the Black Panther armor at the end of the trailer. One thing that shines through this trailer that definitely exists in this depiction: Namor is a badass. He shows up several times throughout the trailer, at one point staring up at Wakandan ships firing energy blasts on his encampment on a beach as M’Baku jumps off a boat to bash him. We see his cute little winged baby feet as his mother gives birth to him under the water. This Atlantis is full of Mayan imagery and clothing, and Namor doesn’t appear to be 100+ years old. He’s going to be very different on the big screen, though. ![]() Namor was a member of Captain America’s Invaders during World War II, and was one of the first people to encounter the Fantastic Four after they gained their powers. He was created in 1939 by Bill Everett, long before Marvel even existed, so he has a long and storied history in comics even before he was revealed to be the first mutant of the Marvel Universe. Played by Tenoch Huerta, Namor McKenzie (yes, that is actually his last name in the comics) is the son of a human father and an Atlantean princess, raised to be the king of the undersea people. ![]() ![]() The first and biggest news is Namor’s arrival in the MCU. ![]()
