Years ago, the film rights to Marvel characters like Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, X-Men and many others were sold off to various studios. Now, Marvel Studios is an entertainment Titan in the industry and many of the characters have finally returned home, with Fantastic Four and X-Men being the most recent. One Marvel icon who has been anticipated by many fans to finally join the MCU is Namor the Sub-Mariner. The film rights to the underwater hero currently reside at Universal Studios but as Marvel has shown over the years, compromises and negotiations are always possible.
According to a recent Tweet from
Erick Weber, Kevin Feige himself confirmed that Namor could possibly be coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Namor is Marvel’s original mutant and has had iconic clashes/team-ups with characters like the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, and X-Men so the pieces are certainly in place for the perfect Namor introduction. This is what Weber had to say about Feige’s comments regarding Namor in the MCU.
“Namor COULD make an appearance, still deciding IF & when”
