“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”: Tenoch Huerta reveals if Namor will be a mutant

On November 11, Marvel Studios’ next big production will hit theaters around the world. ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ will hit the big screen following the success of the original ‘Black Panther’ in 2018. Sadly, as we all know, he will do so without his beloved star Chadwick Boseman, who passed away in August 2020 due to cancer to the pancreas. However, It seems that T’Challa’s presence will get noticed before the arrival of his great rival Namor, played by Tenoch Huerta (“The Infinite Purge”).

Namor, who will be the leader of the Talocan and not the ruler of Atlantis, will attack Wakanda after the advancing African nation lends its technology to a certain seabed drilling project.. Namor’s mutant nature has always been a major talking point among comic book fans. For this, according to Empire, Huerta wanted to clarify the origin of the character: “A detail that is recovering from the comics? Namor is a mutant”.

For his part, Kevin Feige, the head of Marvel Studios, has confessed that he has wanted to introduce the character for some time: “Ryan (Coogler) had a proposal for the latest hook in “Black Panther” in 2018. The camera would pass through the Wakanda palace to end up showing the wet footprints that would lead to the throne “.

the perfect villain

In turn, Coogler, who will be directing this second installment again, has revealed his enthusiasm for the arrival of the new villain.: “The contrast between T’Challa and Namor, the characters and their nations, simply jumps from the comic page to the movie screen. He is a dream antagonist”.

The film will also star Letitia Wright (“Black Mirror”), Martin Freeman (“The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey”), Danai Gurira (“The Walking Dead”), Winston Duke (“Avengers: Infinity War”), Lupita Nyong. ‘o (“Star Wars: The Force Awakens”) and Angela Bassett (“Contact”), among many others.
