MCU Phase 4: 15 Essential Rumours & Theories You Need To Know

6. Namor Will FINALLY Join The MCU

The Rumour:

Namor the Sub-Mariner is one of the oldest characters in Marvel's library, and actually even predates DC's Aquaman by two whole years. Despite arguably having a worse costume (those green trunks aren't doing him any favours, let's face it), Namor's omission from the MCU can perhaps be considered the most frustrating mentioned so far.

He's such a pivotal, and iconic, character within Marvel's library, and it often seems as though no one knows if it's even possible for him to appear in the first place, with his rights apparently tied up between Marvel and Universal in a similar way to Hulk's.

That said, fans do believe that it's only a matter of time until the Sub-Mariner appears on the big screen, with Kevin Feige having even reportedly said that the character "could make an appearance", although he's still said to be working out the intricacies of "if and when".

The Response:

This one's a tad more difficult to come down on either side, because Namor has given Marvel a pretty big headache the last few years. Universal are said to own a stake in the character and with that making production difficult, it may just be the case that the character doesn't show up at all.
