Empire Magazine begins to show material from its issue dedicated to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, where Tenoch Huerta confirms that Namor is a mutant.
With impressive images, the specialized film publication Empire Magazine has released its issue dedicated to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (here you can see the covers), where without a doubt what has attracted the most attention is what concerns Tenoch Huerta’s Namor , whom he claims is a mutant.
On this occasion, a new image has also been released that allows us to see the actor dressed in a pectoral and adornments for the face and head, and holding a weapon.
As part of the report, excerpts from a more extensive interview with the director of the two installments on Black Panther, Ryan Coogler, are cited. And after remembering the history of clashes between the nations of Wakanka and Atlantis in the comics, and also their leaders, they say that makes him the ideal candidate for this new MCU adventure.
“The contrast between T’Challa and Namor – their characters and their nations – comes right off the page,” says Ryan Coogler of the two characters’ backstory from the comics. And he concludes: “He is a dream antagonist.”
The publication also spoke with Tenoch Huerta, from whom he advances the following statement regarding the reinterpretation of Atlantis, now called Talocan and inspired by Mesoamerica: “You can take Atlantis from the Greek myth or adapt it from a real culture,” says Huerta. We also learn that with T’Challa’s decision to open up Wakanada to the world at the end of the first installment of Black Panther, it’s part of the Wakanada Forever conflict. “That decision puts Talocan in danger,” explains Huerta. “And Talocan has to take steps to protect himself.”
Just like in the comics, Namor is a mutant in the MCU, according to Tenoch Huerta
Namor is one of the two oldest Marvel characters. In fact, the creation of him predates the existence of the publisher Timely Comics, which was later renamed Marvel Comics.
As Kevin Feige tells Empire, “Ryan had a proposal for a scene at the end of Black Panther. The camera would run through the Wakanda palace, and then we would see the wet footprints leading to the throne.” Revealing with it that from the first installment it was considered to use the character of Namor.
But the most revealing thing about the text of the British magazine is a statement that the author of the text attributes to Tenoch Huerta, when he ends a paragraph: “A detail that is transferred from the comics? According to Huerta, his Namor is indeed a mutant.”
So we will have to wait for the full interview to know Huerta’s words about it.
