Tenoch Huerta Majin as Namor in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

There was a lot of anticipation to see how the film would handle the Sub-Mariner. Now that the film has come out, the character has received a new surge of attention thanks to his portrayal by Tenoch Huerta Meja and his reworked origin as the ruler of the underwater kingdom of Talokan.

After being a guest star in someone else's story, you'd be right to think we're going to get a Namor spinoff soon. The movie rights to the Sub-Mariner are owned by Universal Pictures, so Disney can't give the character his own feature. You can assume a Disney+ series isn't on the table. In the 90s, when the comic book company was in danger of going bankrupt, it sold off its characters to other studios. Even though they tried over the years to get a movie for the underwater antihero off the ground, nothing came of those efforts before the Black Panther sequel.

Moore said that if it wasn't for a poster, the promo wouldn't have been affected. Some movies have commercials that hype up the danger of their villains. This is the reason why they did one for the Talokanil as a whole. He said that there weren't really things we couldn't do for him. In a big way, we made some big changes to really anchor him in that world in a truth that publishing never really landed on.

It is not known how long the deal with Universal will last, or if the studio is attempting to acquire the characters. It is not known if it is possible for the company to have a character with a resemblance to Namor show up as a lead in a movie. It may not be possible for the studio to just run the clock until the rights return to them. Moore promised thatNamor will return, but it's not clear if it's a full-time job or if it's just a part time job.
