In November 2020, as SMASH reported to you in a timely manner, Tenoch Huerta joined the ranks of Marvel Studios, confirming months later that the native of Ecatepec would give life to Namor, one of the founders of what we know today as Marvel Comics.
The CBR site takes up a report from the Fightful Select site portal that points to WWE fighter Damian Priest as one of the first options to play Namor.
According to the portal, the producers of the second Black Panther film had a talk with Damian Priest, who read a couple of dialogues to audition for the role. Possibly because of his resemblance to the comics version of Namor, Priest was considered for the role, which was ultimately not given.
Even The Rock was considered for Namor
The same site pointed out that in the early years of the 21st century, when Universal Pictures developed a project for Namor, they thought of Dwayne Johnson ‘The Rock’, who was taking his first steps in acting.
But Kevin Feige, current president of Marvel Studios, declared that this project was discarded because it was not well structured.
