Movies How should the MCM handle Namor?

[FemdomFilmFan]

The Marvel Cinematic Multiverse, that is. I don't know much about the character but I'm learning somewhat.

Namor stories I've read so far, and all just this weekend. Isn't being stuck at home great?

Am about to start reading the 1988-89 12-issue series Saga of the Sub-Mariner by Roy & Dann Thomas & Rich Buckler. I wanna read as much as I need to to get a real handle on the character, his history, and his supporting characters and enemies. So what are your recommendations, people? And how do ya think the MCM should handle him? Should he be a hero, a villain, an anti-hero? Should he be introduced in his own movie, someone else's, should he ever get his own movie? Casting suggestions? Let's talk Namor.

 

[THEfightsAREfixed]

ok bro we get it you can read good stop rubbing it in

water heroes are kind of hard to do I feel like, aqua man did the best it could but I feel like you working from a disadvantage from the sea

 

[Two Crows]

Well, they should start by somehow getting the rights to him back.


Then, they might think of working him into the FF in the one-sided love triangle arc when they show up in Phase 7, 2051.

Edit: With the way Phase 4 has been going, I wouldn't be surprised if they revisited the plan/schedule. They recently announced Black Panther 2 is on indefinite hold (shut down "for the foreseeable future", Shang Chi never made it to China, and the Eternals is ... well, you know.

Maybe we could see in a FF film in the next 2-3 years?

 

[Sycho Sid]

He is debuting in the new Black Panther as far as I know. So we will see.

 

[TheTickG]

Ariel/Namor cross over is the only way to go. Disney owns both at this point, right?

 

[Fluffernutter]

 

[Strychnine]

I hope they handle it better than this.

Everyone one of those no name properties made a ton of money. Then spider man was released and made a small fortune. So I have to disagree with everything you said above.

once other tent pole movies like Thor and guardians and dr strange are released MCU will feel like it never missed a step.

 

[Aegon Spengler]

First off, he’s like Randy from the trailer park boys in that he never, EVER wears a shit. Namor doesn’t wear shirts, not when he’s meeting the president, not when he’s meeting the queen. Not ever. That’s his thing.

Everything else fills itself in

Have him try to bang the Invisible Women in the upcoming Fantastic Four film

 

[hohner]

If there isn't a sex joke where he gives someone crabs than they might as well skip the whole damn thing.

 

[RayA]

Is he Asian? Because he always looks Asian in the comic panels I see him in.

Hes Vulcan. So yes hes asian.

[Mike]

Antihero. Cool character too, especially the silver age version. That guy was out there throwing hands with thor and the hulk back when like 5 guys in the marvel universe were on that level. I remember once in a fight with the hulk he punched him to a different country

 

[Fedorgasm]

You can never make crappy characters into good movies.

Aquaman, Namor, Superman...

 

[crabmeat]

Nah. That's a Vulcan.

 

[crabmeat]

You can never make crappy characters into good movies.

Aquaman, Namor, Superman...

Aquaman, Namor, Superman...

Aquaman kinda sucks but Namor and Superman are good characters.

 

[mightywang1]

Namor is better than Aquaman.
