Namor Represents The Kang Dynasty"s Big Challenge Besides The Multiverse
Namor's involvement in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty poses a major challenge for the upcoming Phase 6 film. Tenoch Huerta debuted as Namor during Phase 4's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, adapted from Namor the Sub-Mariner, one of Marvel Comics' original characters who debuted back in 1939. Namor had been long-anticipated in the MCU, and his introduction didn't disappoint as he went toe-to-toe with the forces of Wakanda and the MCU's new Black Panther, Shuri, as well as introducing audiences to his underwater nation of Talokan, a representation of Atlantis from the comics.
Despite a brilliant introduction in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Namor's future in the MCU is currently unclear. While Marvel Studios owns the film rights to Namor, the distribution rights belong to Universal Pictures. This means Namor probably won't be appearing as the protagonist in any Marvel Studios project. Marvel skirted this issue with the Hulk by including him as a secondary character in projects like the Avengers films and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, so this could be where Namor's MCU future lies. Since the Hulk has seen a huge amount of development this way, Namor's future MCU appearances can answer some burning questions left after Wakanda Forever.
