Over the next couple of years, both Marvel and DCs universes will heavily feature underwater heroes in their blockbuster movies. While DC has to wait until December 2023 to bring back Aquaman in his solo sequel Marvel is gearing up to introduce Namor the Sub-Mariner for the first time in Novembers Black Panther Wakanda Forever.
While this is an overwhelmingly positive moment for the MCU bringing in a character fans have wanted for a long time with a new brand of representation there are some minor concerns with his debut. Specifically these come with making sure that Namor stands on his own away from Jason Momoas successful take on Aquaman with the heroes both having similar skill sets and natural environments. Marvel is already working hard to give Namor his own shine changing his home world from Atlantis to a more Aztec based nation called Talocan in the upcoming Black Panther sequel. And ahead of the movies November premiere one leading actor shared his own thoughts on how Namor makes his own impact.
Speaking with the Los Angeles Times Black Panther Wakanda Forever star Winston Duke examined the differences between the MCUs take on Namor the Sub Mariner and DCs Aquaman. You will see them in a light of confrontation. We do not get along. But its funny in the end they have too much in common. It portrays what is happening here in the States from my perspective between the minorities of this country. I think at some point we need to join together and create that different thing.
