Reports say that Marvel's Submariner is the antagonist of Black Panther 2. Apparently these "sources" are the same ones that stated The Mandarin would appear in Shang Chi and Taskmaster in Black Widow. So if true, thoughts? Seems kind of lame to me. I don't even like Namor (I prefer Aquaman)
Black Panther 2's Villain Is Namor

I was really hoping for political intrigue as opposed to the most boring Marvel character and LOTR inspired nonsense.
namor's a weenie
I knew Barracuda trying to destabilise Wakanda was a pipe dream, but it'd be better than Dick Aquaman
>I prefer Aquaman
Aw is da widdle DCuck scawed dat da mean owd mawvel will take away hew onwy "success"?
Do comic writers get some kind of bonus when the movies lift one of the plots they made? Hickman and Brubaker should be rolling in it at this point.
This really feels like Marvel Studios looking at WB's Aquaman and going "We can do that!"
No? I was speaking strictly concept and comics wise. Movie was fun I guess. Namor just never really appealed to me.
Does Marvel even have the film rights to Namor? I thought they were tied up with Universal thanks to that hilarious story involving Waterworld.
You want Aquaman to be the villain in a Black Panther movie?
>Barracuda
Oh god I wish that would be true
>HAH HAH HAH
Never heard this. Do tell
Pretty sure that was resolved a few years ago. They've had Namor for a little bit, just haven't done anything with him.
Why? Barracuda never met Black Panther, they don't even know each other. Hell, Barracuda still isn't in 616. Of course it was a pipe dream, it doesn't make sense
Oh! Because Aquaman's enemy was Black Manta!
List villains you'd rather see in Black Panther 2 than Namor
>MAX Nighthawk as part of a leadup to a Avengers vs Squadron Supreme movie down the line
>Kraven the Hunter
>Moses Magnum
>Nakia who breaks bad
It's like Hulk
He can be in other movies but he can't have his own
>villain
>>The next two years will be endless reporting on who will be cast as the FF and X-Men as well as saying Namor and Storm are in BP2, Silver Surfer and Galactus in GOTG 3, and how Avengers 5 is the Skrull Invasion.
Basically, when Waterworld was about to come out in 1995, Universal was convinced it was going to be a monster hit. They thought it would usher in an entirely new era of "science fiction on the high seas" movies. So they started to look around for any property that might conceivably be competition for their new franchise. They stumbled upon Namor, who is not only a bit of a sci-fi-in-the-ocean character, his official name is "The Sub-Mariner," which to Universal sounded too much like "The Mariner," which is what Kevin Costner's character goes by in the film.
So Universal decided to be proactive and nip their potential competition in the bud. They offered to buy Namor's film rights, and Marvel agreed; remember, this was around the time that they were selling off film rights like crazy because they needed the cast. And THEN, of course, Waterworld was a huge flop, so all of Universal's plans were ruined, and ever since Namor's film rights just sat in their IP files collecting dust. I guess Disney got a hold of them at some point, though.
Generally no. Only if the characters they create appear but I think even then Marvel doesn't give a shit to the creators in terms of royalties. DC is waaay better.
Wakanda is a landlocked state
There's a waterfall
imagine putting your dick in that
Not for long.
And here I was thinking it'd be Moses Magnum.
The thought of Barracuda acting all nigga with the Wakandian counsil makes me laugh like a madman. Imagine him interacting with Black Panther for a second him being all negro and making him think ''this is why we seclude ourselves from the rest of the world''.
So how long until DC decides Red Lion should go to war against Aquaman? Actually come to think of it, a Red Lion/Black Manta team up sounds fucking awesome
I fucking wish they hadn't had used up almost all of his villains in the first fucking movie. I wish they hadn't killed off fucking Klaue. I hope he comes back somehow. I seriously fucking hope he comes back.
Is widdle Ladderfag going to eat his Blu-ray?
I wish M'Baku was an actual villain
I'd rather he be in Fantastic Four. It was inevitable that Namor would be relegated to a smaller role instead of leading his own film after Aquaman though
It's on lake victoria
Where is the source? Is this another Namorfag thread? He'll never appear in the MCU dude
>Bury me in the ocean where Namor can rescue me
It's going to confuse normies and make them go "is that Aquaman? Why is Aquaman attacking the Kang?"
This isn't a Namorfag thread. He's a cuckhold obsessed fag who keeps making Sue threads
Christ you’re a fucking loser lmao
embarassing
I can only imagine the limp wrist who typed this. News flash bud, you don’t work or receive any financial compensation for defending marvel
That too. I hope something happens and M'Baku goes full villain at some point. I'd love to have him as a lovable dick, charismatic, but also genuinely antagonistic towards T'challa.
WHAT THE FUCK!?
WHY THE FUCK YALL KEEPING BELIEVING WE GOT THIS COVERED
u got this stupid ass bullshit from we got this covered
DO NOT EVER FUCKIN TRUST WE GOT THIS COVERED ITS A SHITTY BULLSHIT ASS SITE
fuck off
OP already states it's a rumor.
>mfw I was right when I said the undersea quake outside of Africa that they mentioned in Endgame was Namor being released
Wakanda is an ancient technologically advanced nation. Atlantis was one of those too but something happened. Now Namor awakens, his people dead and Lemuria gone as well. He'll go to the only civ left of the triumvirate to find out what the fuck they did.
It'd be neat if Black Panther 3 helped introduce Latveria, Doom, and The Fantastic Four. T'Challa first appeared in F4 right?
Honestly, I'd only be okay with this if BP2 fucked off with Namor and kept the threat Wakandan or at least African or something. I need another movie fully dedicated to not only BP's supporting cast but also Afrofuturism. Fuck Namor.
fuck u hoe
>Reports say that Marvel's Submariner is the antagonist of Black Panther 2.
king vs king
I can dig it
get the fuck up off here and go take yo dumb ass to bed u got school in the morning lil bitch
Lame. I want more internal exploration of Wakanda
Was really hoping Fiege would save Namor for FF
See: The only thing they have in common is the ancient civilisation part. Why wouldn't the story involve Namor and BP delving into the history of Wakanda, back to the times when Atlantis still ruled the seas?
Since Cap went back in time does that mean we could get an Invaders movie too?
Hell drown wakanda. None of them will be able to swim. Do it.
That's for the What If story of The Human Torch being more than a exhibit and Namor waking up in time for WWII.
This would actually be cool.
YEAH!!!
KEVIN FEIGE WILL MAKE "DISNEY" AQUAMAN SEXY FOR US AND WE WILL CRUSH DC!!!
>Avengers vs. Squadron Supreme movie
Dumb
>Kraven
Dumber
>Yea Forums spends alot of time hyping up Namor in BP2
>as soon as its announced complete faggots that actually LIKE Aquaman (lmao) come out of the woodwork
They get a mention in the credits, like Denny did in the first Iron Man and so on
Jim Starlin says he's made more off royalties from Thanos being in the movies than he did actually writing for Marvel.
It's just a rumor normie
I mean, its only the obvious fucking reference in the world. You would have to be braindead not to get that Namor is coming
Dr. Doom
Latveria vs Wakanda
Is there anyone retarded enough to be hyped for Namor?
Shit character never got a single good story.
Imagine the chimpouts if Namor absolutely Decimates Wakanda.again
>T'Challa: NO! MY PEOPLE ARE POOR SWIMMERS
I think this is a good idea, depending on how you write him, either as “Namor, king of the secluded nation of Atlantis” or “Namor, pissed off motherfucker who will invade your country because of pollution”, he makes a good foil to T’Challa and the line he’s straddling between isolationism and interventionism.
>DUDE WHAT IF BLACK MANTA WAS THE HERO AND AQUAMAN THE VILLAIN
>Marvel's oldest active character gets reduced to the chump Black Panther fans get to laugh at for being a white guy trying to take down Super Africa
I get that he vacillates between hero and villain on alternating appearances, but Namor deserves a bit better than to die in his first movie ever.
Fuck it, Hate Monger. Just straight up have him fight Hitler.
Yeah, but he fucking CREATED Thanos, not just wrote stories for him.
already knew it was gonna be shit
I mean, I'm certain they're working on something Namor-related, otherwise they wouldn't be reprinting stuff the way they normally do when a movie is near (for reference, February is chock full of Black Widow omnibuses and reprints), and they're doing this one.
I don't believe for a second in anything WeGotThisCovered publishes, but I can see a movie like this happening. He has obvious ties with the Fantastic Four but not as prominent as Black Panther has with them, while the second most prominent character Namor collided with, aside from the Invaders, was T'Challa indeed.
So yeah, it's very likely, I think it could work, but it needs to be a long movie, approaching the 3h mark like Aquaman did, so they can set this whole thing up properly. It's be a disservice not to.
Moon Knight.
It'll give them a chance to explore Bast, and also fuck around with the Egyptian Pantheon for MK. A point could also be made that all of the godly pantheons are basically offshoots of the Eternals.
During the 5 year snap, M'baku was elected leader/took power and gained the abilities from the heart shaped herb. He did his best to incorporate Wakanda into the modern world like T'challas last wishes were before Thanos' invasion, but there was too much power to be held in the old ways. Traditional values=/=nationalism, his stance invited antagonism from nearby African nations, and they find themselves having to be the continents big brother and clean up the problems for their fellow man. Eventually it's revealed that the advisor Achebe is behind it all, in an attempt to undermine the wealth and power of Wakanda.
Of course all of this would be undone by them showing T'challa, his mum and sister standing at the royal palace during Tony Starks video eulogy
Have Disney officially brought back thee rights to Namor?
>White guy
Implying he won't be Asian or a hapa.
Daniel dae kim for Namor?
Probably Henry Golding at this point.
Jesus. He's 51 soon.
You're right. I saw Henry Goldings name thrown in for Shang Chi, and marvel usually recycle their casting near misses for future roles.
But why though? Wakanda doesn't even have ocean access
They have a waterfall.
>mfw Feige introduces more Asian heroes in the MCU, to lessen the 2.0 blowback of a white Danny in an Iron Fist reboot.
wegotthiscovered.com
It's We Got This Covered, but still it wouldn't surprise me.
Meanwhile Len Wein made shit out of Wolverine compared to what he made out of Luscious Fox.
I know Starlin brought up the then fact in his FB that he had no contact with Marvel Studios and no one cared to involve him with anything Thanos that was happening in the movies. Then in that same FB post one of the Russos leaves a reply wanting to get in touch with him. I guess after that he started to get the royalties and he even said Marvel Studios treated him better than Marvel Comics.
Hoped he would get a solo first.
A lot of people like Aquaman you casual fuck
this needs to happen in a movie
>This really feels like Marvel Studios looking at WB's Aquaman and going "We can do that!"
They're entitled; Aquaman has always been a Namor ripoff. It's a shame that DC managed to beat Marvel to the punch with an Aquaman movie.
Why? Marvel beat them at everything else.
i thought they could not use namor because his rights are divided between 3 or 4 different groups/people
>M'baku doesn't want to give up power after ruling Wakanda in T'challa's absence for five years
They literally got the Taskmaster rumour right
They beat them with Wonder Woman too but that didn't stop Captain Marvel from being the first female superhero movie
You losers can pretend people give a shit about Aquaman but at the end of the day DC is about as important and most straight-to-dvd movies
shut the fuck up man we got this covered is a shitty ass site u dick head
Disney bought Fox, remember? The only rights they don't have now are for solo Hulk movies, which are owned by Paramount, iirc.
Why does Namor hate Wakanda so much?
Hulk and Namor are both owned by Universal dumbass
So Marvel can do exactly what they did for Hulk with Namor
wakandans are
- racist against everyone not wakandan
- extremely arrogant and believe they are better then others
- most of the time they refuse to help others.
and that was more the Phoenix then namor.
namor actualy whent and apologised and offered help in rebuilding wakanda.
but while t'challa kept him talking he had send his sister and his soldiers to attack namors home and poison and kill most of the population there.
By the way, the mobile games are all adding Namor. Granted, they do add pretty much anybody but Namor has not been in anything besides comics since Marvel Ultimate Alliance in 2004, I think.
Also, the phone games started to add muties not long before the Fox acquisition and have started adding F4 stuff with the latest relaunch.
Seems likely that Marvel is planning something with Namor
Namor was added like many months ago to Puzzle Quest, I know because I made it a goal of mine go get it...
For all the good that makes, since it's Legendary. Oh well.
Namor was one clever motherfucker when it came to getting revenge for that.
pic Context please
Namor blew up another inhabited earth with the Illuminati in order to save both universes and then went on to lead to cabal do destroy more earths. Cap has the worlds largest stick up his ass and is trying to stop them.
>mfw I was right when I said the Stephen Strange that they mentioned in Winter Soldier was Doctor Strange
That's how fucking retarded you are
How? Without the Phoenix force, Namor isn't strong or insane enough to do it.
>I'M GONNA SAY IT T'CHALLA
>Mckenzie boy fans
Fucking lol. Marvelfags like anything with the "Marvel" logo in it, don't they?
Can any of you name 3 good Namor stories?
Gladly:
>That time he kissed a lobster lady and liked it
>Punching Hitler
>That time when he seduced Sue in her dreams
There. Now where's my prize, bitch?
>Meme Gillen X-Men
>shitty
>awful cuck shit
Is this the power of Marvel's writing?
>calling the Punchment of Adolf a shitty story
Don't make me say it.
Come, T'challa. let us talk ethnostate to ethnostate.
>thinking that "character punches Hitler" is original
Let me guess: you also think that "America" is an awesome Marvel story, right?
And why doesnt Barack Panther want no part of this?
Calm down, Tommy.
And here comes another amazing Namor story: the 305th "Namor kills people and the Avengers suck his cock for it" story.
Such a well-written character.
His people were all killed because of and then the united nations gave the cabal what was left of wakanda so he kinda just stopped giving a fuck about anything.
>The UN gives a country to Thanos
Is this the power of Hickman's writing?
It was pretty retarded but they asked for it in return for saving the planet because thats where all their planet killing bombs were kept plus namor just liked fucking with black panther.
What if they make Atlantis an ancient Wakandan outpost?
namor should be far stronger then t'challa
but they will probaly bullshit something for the movie versions, like making namor weak to vibramium or something
I wonder how Starlin feels about their interpretation of Thanos. He’s always been super protective of him, but I think IW probably got close enough to appease
He has said he loved it, actually.
Hnng Namor/ Black Panther fanfiction in coming
I saw an interview he did with ign a while back and he may have just been acting polite for the camera but he seemed to be completely okay with everything they were doing with thanos.
>making namor weak to vibramium or something
That would suck so hard.
Isn't everyone weak to vibranium? I can't think of anyone who hasn't been hurt by it
Silver Surfer, Wolverine, Sentry, and probably some other top tiers
And make it look like Disney is coming out as against Chinese investment in Africa?
It's gonna be short then, no one in Wakanda can swim
Wolverine can definitely be hurt by it, he just powers through it because of his healing factor. But not being killed doesn't mean immunity
vibranium isn't unbreakable in the comics. it just absorbs a lot of kinetic energy that it can also discharge
movie version is pretty much a combo of vibranium and adamantium (because they could not use adamantium before they bought fox)
even thors hammer thats made of uru is pretty breakable without the enchantments on it
You forgot the hear shaped herb doesnt exist anymore thanks to Kilmonger
Well I mean like it being some Kryptonite/polar weakness to Atlantians, Mutants or something.
>Namor is coincidentally going full villain in Invaders
Ah, synergy.
