Namor, the sub-mariner, is one of the characters of the Marvel Universe that fans longed to see in the movie. There are many characters of the Marvel universe who are powerful and loved by the readers and yet have not appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) even once. However, Marvel is going to introduce Namor with their upcoming film, Black Panther 2. The film is scheduled to be released on November 11, 2022, with the official title, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” Let’s hope that there are no further delays in the release.
The production team is going to ensure that they give the tribute to Chadwick Boseman, who died of cancer in August 2020. Although the filming was started in June 2021, it got delayed due to numerous reasons, such as the coronavirus pandemic. The team is honoring Chadwick’s legacy and has not cast anyone for T’ Challa. It will be interesting to see how the story would unfold without the character. Since it is the first time Namor will appear on screens, fans are excited to know which actor is playing the character.
