Gotta wait for them to get control of the Fantastic Four because Namor isn't Namor unless he's cucking Mr. Fantastic.

Marvel does now, but for a long time he was owned by Fox cause for some reason he was part of the F4 deal

Marvel owns the character rights, Universal owns distribution rights. Basically the same situation as the Hulk.

Namor has the most complicated rights of all Marvel characters. So complicated, he doesn't even appear in any Marvel media outside of comics. Never seen him in a video game or cartoon for example.

Marvel must have had monkeys write up the contract they gave Universal for them to screw up so bad with him.

Even worse than Hulk as Hulk still appears in plenty of non-comic media and they can use him in the MCU.

Namor is a huge badass. and yes he deserves a movie. he's the oldest still active marvel character. Namor predates Captain America. he was the 2nd major golden age character to come out (the first was the original Human Torch, no relation to Fantastic Four) but the oldest one still standing. he's been around for like 99.99% of Marvel history.

I think Namor is partially owned by Universal.

Though Feige has said they can do a Namor movie, idk they've given really conflicting info regarding him.

Namor sounds like he could be interesting. I don't know much about the character himself, but I know he's Aquaman's polar opposite in personality. He hates humans and was less a superhero and more of an eco-terrorist in his early years.

And he cucks Reed Richards.

he has the same parentage as Aquaman. a Atlantean mother and a surface dwelling father. his mom was swimming in the arctic ocean and got caught on a boat and then had sex with one of the crew and got pregnant. he's also technically a mutant. just a non human one. or ....half human one. normal atlanteans aren't as powerful as he is.

in terms of personality they truly could not be anymore different. your focused on their powers, and on their undersea birthright. but in terms of what kind of person they are, they are very different. aquaman would think Namor was a huge asshole

mostly because aquaman isn't the king of dicks.

If Sentry shows up, he better rip somebody in half. Not off-sceen either. Front and center, wide shot in all its gory glory.

No. Sue kissed Black Panther. That was it. Plus it wasn't canon.

Disney owns 100% of game rights except for what was already licensed off to Lego but that's only for the Lego versions of those characters.

Which is odd because for the past few years they use MCU inspired looks for all of the heroes in the MCU and then classic looks for non MCU heroes.

Namor is one of the few people to KO the Hulk in the comics, and holds the distinction of being the first

I could see them doing something along the lines of evil Namor in the next Avengers after Endgame. Have a ragtag team of 2nd string heroes after tony/cap/Thor get their dues-ex-awol, the guardians will be off in space...we'll have Spidey, Antman, Black Panther, Bucky, Falcon, and maybe cpt marvel if she doesn't fly back to the kree or whatever

Avengers 2.0 still getting a grip when suddenly atlantean uprising helmed by the biggest dick this side of the Marianas trench

Would work
