I have said it before, I will say it again, Tenoch Huerta does not need me to defend his honor, but I will do it anyway. I don't think he's weird. A good person. A nice guy. In a recent interview that he did while in Mexico City with the Golden Scorpion, he talked about being a part of the Marvel universe, representation, and what it means to be a Mexican actor.
At the end of the interview, Scorpion drives Huerta to a mural that some people painted in his honor, using a photo taken of him at San Diego Comic-Con. The jaguar and the Quetzalcatl are pointed out by the scorpion. The woman is shocked. He laughs and wipes his face.
He said that this was more valuable than an Oscar. I think it is worth more. Angely Mercado, a friend and colleague of mine, translated my colleague's words when he saw this fan tribute. Heurta is playing an anti-hero in a movie.
Black Panther will be released in theaters on November 11th.
