‘He definitely needs his own solo movie’: Tenoch Huerta receives massive support from Latin American audiences after Black Panther 2 as fans claim his impact was similar to Chadwick Boseman

Director Ryan Coogler Changed Namor’s Origin to Latin American

Unlike Marvel’s Namor, who rules a relatively typical version of Atlantis (an advanced society overwhelmed by great tragedy), Black Panther: Wakanda Forever‘s Namor hails from Talocan, an undersea land inspired by the Tlālōcān of Aztec mythology. Talocan, like Wakanda, is a fictional place meant to reflect a variety of cultural influences, and Huerta sees it as an ideal notion to help people better understand Indigenous and African contributions to Latin American history, especially that of Mexico.

wakanda forever, in addition to drawing inspiration from an array of Mesoamerican cultures, constructs its own intriguing mythology that connects the history of Talocan and Wakanda. Although these notions have a particular narrative function within the framework of the film, Huerta hopes that the public will grasp and absorb them as testimonies of a cultural richness worthy of respect and recognition.
