Namor’s cultural significance in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Namor is one of the most important characters in Marvel Comics. He is one of the oldest characters and his debut in the MCU has been the subject of anticipation for many days. When it was announced that he would be stepping foot in the MCU, the news was quickly received with DC’s Aquaman comparisons. But the MCU also used some clever moves and made some unique changes to Namor’s character.
The very first move the MCU has made, which may turn out to be a major draw, is the origin shift from Atlantis to the true Aztec-based civilization, Talocan. It can be a major hit or miss for the MCU because it’s all based on real things. While some fans have already complained about the studio’s change of origin, it can also establish a good connection with fans if executed well. Mainly because of its existing meaning in the real world.

Asked about the difference between Namor’s character and DC’s AquamanM’Baku actor Winston Duke said their version was much more grounded and realistic:
“In our version, it feels much more real than fiction. Like the MCU, we grounded it in real cultural meaning and cultural traditions. You see the Latinx contingent that is present visually. Ryan Coogler’s creation in the Marvel cinematic landscape is a profound honor and connection to real things. So I think a lot of people are going to see themselves represented.
While some fans were offended by the character’s treatment in the MCU, some are thrilled to see how the true cultural significance plays out.
Namor is going to be an interesting addition to Black Panther 2
Namor star Tenoch Huerta also exclaimed his joy at getting the role in Black Panther 2. He said it was extremely beautiful and he feels very lucky to be cast as the under. -mariner among so many faces.
The actor explained that his Talocan Kingdom’s relationship with Wakanda resembles that of the modern world and people can resonate with it. Even though the character doesn’t have any major information yet, the MCU will surely save him now for its future roster.
