Now that audiences have lastly gotten their first take a look at Namor aka the Sub-Mariner in Marvel Studio\u2019s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever<\/em>, individuals may nonetheless be questioning why Namor hasn\u2019t gotten his personal MCU film.<\/p>\n According to a report on The Wrap<\/a>, \u201cThe situation around Namor harkens back to the pre-Marvel Studios\/pre-Disney era of making movies out of Marvel Comics characters, before the studio streamlined and controlled intellectual property. Before Marvel Studios made Iron Man<\/em> as its own independently produced film, the company was in the habit of licensing or selling off rights to characters to other studios \u2014 the X-Men <\/em>went to Fox<\/em>, Spider-Man<\/em> went to Sony, etc. And Namor is one of those characters that is still controlled by another studio.\u201d<\/p>\n The studio in query is Universal Pictures<\/a>. As it at the moment stands, Universal owns the rights to each the Hulk and Namor, and neither IP can\u2019t be in thier personal film unfortuantely. <\/p>\n However, that doesn\u2019t imply that Marvel can\u2019t borrow Namor, like they borrowed the Hulk, to place him in an ensemble movie. In the identical report from The Wrap, the outlet spoke with Wakanda Forever producer Nate Moore<\/a> who elaborated on the scenario and cited the supply materials as inspiration.<\/p>\n \u201cIt honestly affects us more, and not to talk too much out of school, but in how we market the film than it does how we use him in the film,\u201d Moore stated. \u201cThere weren\u2019t really things we couldn\u2019t do from a character perspective for him, which is good because clearly, we took a ton of inspiration from the source material, but we also made some big changes to really anchor him in that world in a truth that publishing never really landed on, I would argue, in a big way.\u201d<\/p>\n Unlike his comedian guide counterpart, the MCU\u2019s Namor is the ruler of Talocan, not Atlantis. The change offers Namor a backstory tied to Mayan tradition, with Tenoch Huerta within the position. While Ryan Coogler took the character in a brand new route, Namor nonetheless dons his basic inexperienced trunks and pointy ears.\u00a0<\/p>\n Directed by Ryan Coogler from a script he co-wrote with Joe Robert Cole,\u00a0Wakanda Forever\u00a0stars Letitia Wright<\/a>, Lupita Nyong\u2019o, Danai Gurira, Winston Duke, Florence Kasumba, Dominique Thorne, Michaela Coel, Tenoch Huerta, Martin Freeman, and Angela Bassett.<\/p>\nHow is the MCU\u2019s Namor totally different from the comics?<\/h2>\n
