Black Panther 2: Iconic Marvel Character Confirmed?

When will we see the first pictures of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever? With Thor – Love and Thunder fast approaching screens around the world, Marvel’s next Cinematic Universe Phase IV movie is set to premiere soon, and many are betting on the San Diego Comic Con panel on July 23rd. But one of his possible surprises may have already leaked online.

Mexican actor Tenoch Huerta, most notably seen in American Nightmare 5 and the first season of Narcos Mexico, will be one of the new faces in the sequel. And he’s long been rumored for the role of Namor, the sea prince born from the union of a human and an Atlantean. According to the concept art posted online, and thanks to which we find out what it might look like, the hallway sounds like this.

Still directed by Ryan Coogler, who returned behind the camera after the worldwide success of the first opus, Black Panther 2 could therefore pit Wakanda against another mythical kingdom cut off from the rest of the world: the kingdom of Atlantis. And while Namor has been repeatedly announced as the villain of the story (status he’s had at times in the comics), there could be a showdown on land and sea in the film, which is set to be released on November 9 in France. .

Born on paper in 1939, Namor has long been considered the first mutant in Marvel publications, and was particularly linked to the Fantastic 4 after he fell in love with the Invisible Woman. A member of the Avengers and even the X-Men in some stories, he was apparently teased by Scott Derrickson when the latter was still under the control of Doctor Strange 2. is part of the comics.

It ended up being nothing, and it is in the world of Black Panther that he will make his debut on the big screen, and Tenoch Huerta will be the first flesh-and-blood actor to portray him. But she won’t be the only new baby, as Riri Williams, aka Iron Heart, is expected. And obviously in armor.

Starring Dominic Thorne (Judas and the Black Messiah), this teenager who manages to catch Tony Stark’s attention when he manages to build an Iron Man-like suit of armor will have his own series on Disney+, soberly titled Ironheart, after his superhero name. . But unlike Ms. Marvel (Iman Whelan), who is currently making her debut on the small screen before making it to the big screen thanks to The Marvels, she will be appearing in the movies for the first time.

According to this concept art (to be taken with a grain of salt like the previous ones, even if they are more believable), his armor is already functional. It remains to be seen how he will fit into the story, which should focus on T’Challa’s legacy after the death of Chadwick Boseman. To this day, rumors point to Shuri (Letitia Wright) and M’Baku (Winston Duke) as the future heir to the Black Panther suit and title.

But maybe we’ll get our first real clues with the trailer. During the San Diego Comic Con. Or during D23, which will be held in early September. And we’ll fix it no later than November 9th.
