MCU Phase 4: 10 Mind-Blowing Secrets & Theories You Need To Know

10. Namor Joins The MCU

Fears of an ever more powerful capitalist monopoly aside, you’d think that Disney acquiring Marvel and Fox would put an end to licensing issues. Alas, Hulk is still under a Universal ownership, and it remains unclear what the deal with Namor is.

One of the reasons we’re yet to see the Sub-Mariner on screen is because no one appears fully aware of who owns his rights. Behind closed doors, this may have been sorted out though. At least, that’s if the MCU hints prove to have substance.

In a seemingly irrelevant conversation in Endgame, Okoye and Black Widow discuss an earthquake off the coast of Wakanda. If this turns out to be caused by Atlantis though, it becomes very relevant indeed. Namor played a key role in the original Infinity War arc, so it makes sense that his origin is attached to that.

He’s also fairly easy to introduce. Unlike the X-Men or the Fantastic Four, Namor has an easy out: he was hiding underwater. Thanos caused him to surface.

If he does indeed have a Hulk style ownership, we could see a Defenders team up of those two and Doctor Strange, possibly with Scarlet Witch filling in for Silver Surfer.
