10 Game Of Thrones Actors Who Could Star In The MCU (And Who They’d Play)
4. Namor - Iwan Rheon
Iwan Rheon’s Ramsay might have came late and left early in Game Of Thrones, but he still made a huge impact on the show and on viewers. He rivals Joffrey as the most evil character Westeros produced, but he’s played an array of different character archetypes across his career.
Prior to Game Of Thrones, his most famous TV appearance was probably in Misfits, where he played one of a group of community service kids given superpowers by a lightning strike. He started out as a lonely creep but ended it as charismatic central hero.
While the show definitely jumped the shark in the process, Rheon’s portrayal of Simon Bellamy was always believable and engaging.
His time as Maximus in the messy Inhumans is best forgotten, and with a clean slate he could be a brilliant Namor.
The Sub Mariner isn’t what you’d call a villain, but he’s certainly not a hero either. The MCU isn’t overloaded with antiheroes, just regular heroes with sometimes abrasive personalities.
Namor could be one of their most complex characters yet, and Rheon has the chops to pull it off. After Okoye’s mention of an earthquake off Wakanda’s coast teased his arrival, we might see him sooner rather than later.
