Black Panther 2 director Ryan Coogler defends keeping Namor's comics-accurate design for his MCU debut, saying the genre requires "weird stuff."

Only time will tell how comic book fans respond to the character when Black Panther: Wakanda Forever hits theaters on November 11. [Entertainment Weekly](https://ew.com/movies/black-panther-wakanda-forever-trailer-ryan-coogler-exclusive/) to offer new insight for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Given the MCU is finally diving into the world of mutants, as teased with the Ms. Huerta has teased that the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever antagonist will retain a number of elements from his comic book counterpart, including his being a mutant and being more of an antihero than an outright villain, with his character simply looking to protect his people after they are inadvertently exposed to the outside world. In the comics, [Black Panther: Wakanda Forever](https://screenrant.com/tag/black-panther-2/) director Ryan Coogler speaks out in defense of keeping Namor's comics-accurate design.

Marvel Studios' Black Panther: Wakanda Forever drops a new trailer, debuting a comics-accurate depiction of Namor's costume and ability to fly.

Another crucial aspect of the MCU's depiction of the character is the fact that he is not Atlantean in the film. Namor the Sub-Mariner made his comic book debut in Marvel Comics #1, created by Bill Everett, in 1939, following an appearance in an uncirculated comic exclusive to movie theaters. The clip had a lot to offer, including a first look at Namor's ability to fly, which is notable because of how accurate it is as an adaptation.

“Latin-Americans are always the bad guys in Hollywood movies,” Huerta said. “And now we are the heroes – or an anti-hero, in this instance.”.

“Although [Namor] the Sub-Mariner acted like a villain, his cause had some justice, and readers reveled in his assaults on civilization,” Daniels wrote. “Where there was civilization, you could find Namor wreaking havoc as payback for the land dwellers’ assault on Atlantis. In it we see Namor in his home, painting on its walls and the people who reside in his lands below water and above. We also get to see him flying, the wings on his feet as proof that he’s a mutant. The revelation will sit well with many comic book purists who know about Namor’s history since he made his debut on the cover of Marvel Comics #1 in 1939. [Marvel](https://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Fabulous-Decades-Worlds-Greatest/dp/0810925664): Five Fabulous Decades of the World’s Greatest Comics, author and comics historian Les Daniels referred to Namor as “a freak in the service of chaos.” He is not only considered “Marvel’s first mutant,” but also “Marvel’s first anti-hero.”

The second trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever may have, via Namor, finally revealed why mutants have been missing in the MCU until Phase 4!

Still, Namor's example in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever may help to explain why mutants haven't been seen in the MCU up until now.

[pantheons and gods of the MCU](https://screenrant.com/mcu-gods-powers-compared/), the supernatural entities, and the mutants; indeed, this could well explain why Marvel has chosen to explore all three in MCU Phase 4.
