Namor’s Mutant Status Officially Confirmed?
According to Empire, actor Tenoch Huerta, who plays Black Panther: Wakanda Forever‘s antagonist, has confirmed that Namor is definitely a mutant.
Huerta explained that the MCU’s live-action Namor is a departure from the comics in that he’s inspired by the culture and history of Mesoamerica as opposed to Atlantis, saying, “You can take Atlantis from Greek myth, or you can adapt from a real culture.”
The one detail from the comics that Marvel is staying true to, however, is Namor’s status as a mutant.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever premieres in theaters on November 11.
