There’s a new king in town in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, namely Tenoch Huerta‘s Namor the Submariner, the mutant merman monarch of Atlantis Talocan. Namor is a character fans have been waiting years to see enter the MCU, so there’s a lot of hope that he’ll be rubbing shoulders with a range of other Marvel heavyweights in the coming phases. Although, despite Huerta’s hopes, we’re pretty sure he’s not about to meet these two heroes.
Huerta appears to have outed himself as being a ways behind on his MCU homework. When asked to pick the Avengers he’d most want to meet in the franchise, he went for two characters that have been very famously dead for years: Iron Man and Black Widow. Jake’s Takes caught up with the Narcos: New Mexico actor at the Black Panther 2 premiere, and Huerta’s response to the question has raised a lot of eyebrows.
