A Black Panther: Wakanda Forever character has stolen stolen audiences’ hearts: Namor, also known as K’uk’ulkan, portrayed by Tenoch Huerta. The Mexican actor has an extensive film and TV history—The Forever Purge, Narcos: Mexico, Sin Nombre, and Gueros—but this is his first foray into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Even though Wakanda Forever is a movie that explores the mourning of both Chadwick Boseman and T’Challa, everyone walks away remembering Namor.

Who is Namor in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever?

Put simply, he’s Marvel’s first mutant and the leader of Talokan. Namor has been revamped for contemporary audiences, trading the comic character’s Atlantis background for a Mayan one.
