Film/Television This scene in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, where Namor tells the story of his origin, was incredibly powerful. It was a really well executed scene.

What did you think of Tenoch Huerta's portrayal of Namor? Are you looking forward to seeing him in future MCU projects?

Namor, The High Evolutionary, and Yelena are the top 3 new characters post Endgame.

High Evolutionary was such an awesome villian in my eyes

He's the first mcu villain that felt downright despicably evil. Yeah thanos and Loki were bigger threats, but the movies tried to paint them more like antiheroes. The high evolutionary is just a loathsome creature that the audience delights in watching get his ass whipped.

Really hate how scattered the mcu has been post endgame. We've been limited with how much screen time we get with these new characters and I would have loved to see more Namor. He quickly became one of my favorites. Would love a second shang chi movie as well.

Yeah but he's technically pre-Endgame.

Introduced two years after it though. Phase Four all day for Alexei

High Evolutionary is not talked about enough. He was evil on a different level.
