Spoilers follow. You have been warned…
The rumours are correct. Namor is officially coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe this year in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and as we await the first trailer for the Marvel Studios sequel some promotional artwork has made its way online giving us our very first clear look at the Sub-Mariner as he’ll appear in the MCU.
Namor is said to be portrayed by Mexican actor Tenoch Huerta (The Forever Purge), and as had been rumoured the design for the character has an Aztec-type feel to it, with the MCU’s Atlantis reportedly located in Central America. Nevertheless, the costume also retains the classic green and gold design of the comics. See for yourself here…
