Sometimes hero, sometimes anti-hero, and occasionally outright villain, Namor the Sub-Mariner isn’t just one of Marvel’s most complicated characters. He’s also their first superhero. Created in 1939, Namor quickly made a strong impression thanks to his complicated back story, dramatic eyebrows, and super-short green swim trunks.

And now Namor is finally joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, where he’ll be played by Narcos’ Tenoch Huerta. We got our first look at Namor in the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever trailer that dropped at Comic-Con, so let’s learn all about the passionate player known as the Sub-Mariner, and why he’s far more than just Marvel’s answer to Aquaman.

Watch our Wakanda Forever trailer breakdown for everything you need to know about Namor!

#IGN #Marvel #SDCC

There were so many amazing announcements coming out of the Marvel Studios panel at San Diego Comic Con on Saturday night. This included the first trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The footage for the highly anticipated sequel teased many compelling things. However, one key piece that will not be lost on any fan is that the trailer and synopsis for the film officially confirmed Tenoch Huerta(Narcos: Mexico) is playing classic Marvel character Namor the Sub-Mariner.

This is one of Marvel’s oldest characters dating all the way back to 1939. The anti-hero is very similar in power set and backstory to DC Comics’ Aquaman for anyone unfamiliar with the character. He’s a hybrid born from an Atlantean princess and a human. Namor protects the seas from any threats, and he has classic abilities like superhuman strength, speed, and breathing underwater. However, while not seen in the trailer, he also can fly unlike his DC counterpart. Namor’s powers are considered a mutation in the comics. With the MCU slowly introducing mutants with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Ms. Marvel, it remains to be seen if Marvel will continue down this path with the Namor character.
