Black Panther: Wakanda Forever: Will Namor have a solo film?

 

Even though “ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever  ” premiered at Tenoch Orchard What Namor within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it appears a solo film for the character isn't in Marvel Studios' plans.

During an interview, the producer of “Wakanda Forever”, nate moore spoke about the legal problems which hinder Disney and Marvel Studios to produce a film Namor. Like Hulk, Universal has the rights to Namor, so the character was "loaned" to Marvel Studios.

This means that the production company can only have Namor appear in the films alongside other superheroes, and also cannot appear alone in promotional materials, with the sole exception of the character poster which was released as part of a larger poster series.

"He can come back," Moore said of Namor's possible future appearances in the MCU. "There really wasn't anything we couldn't do character-wise for him, which is good because clearly we took a lot of inspiration from the source material, but we also made some major changes to really ground him in this world. »

Although a Namor solo film isn't possible at this time, Tenoch Huerta himself has expressed excitement about starring in a character film. "I would love to, but I don't know," Huerta said in an interview. “It depends on what Kevin Feige says he wants. It depends on the people and how many tickets they buy. »

Namor isn't the only Marvel character to belong to other production companies. In the late '90s, Marvel began selling the movie rights to many of its comic book characters.

Sony got Spider-Man, Fox got the X-Men and Fantastic 4 and so on. Universal ended up sticking with Namor and the Hulk, with the studio releasing the solo movie Hulk, directed by Ang Lee, in 2003.

While Disney and Marvel Studios now have rights to use Hulk in MCU projects, Universal still has distribution rights to any solo films featuring the character. The character's only movie released as part of the MCU was 2008's The Incredible Hulk, produced by Marvel but distributed by Universal.
