Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has numerous easter eggs throughout, but a hidden secret within Namor's wings references his cultural background. 'At one point, Ryan was just like, 'have you tried rattlesnakes...'
The SFX team behind Black Panther: Wakanda Forever reveals a hidden detail on Namor's ankle wings. The long-awaited follow-up to Black Panther has already proven to be a major hit for Marvel Studios. Despite the loss of its lead star, Chadwick Boseman, the new film managed to entice audiences with its progressive and hopeful story. Among the stand-out performances include Tenoch Huerta Mejía as the aquatic ruler Namor. The character has had a long journey to the big screen.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Like other Marvel movies, the film is full of hidden Easter eggs related to the character's history and background. The SFX team at Skywalker Sound broke down, bringing the character of Namor to life.
While we were always trying to make things believable. He was always in the emotional, for example, Namor's wings. At one point Ryan was just like, 'have you tried rattlesnakes... So we did, we did a combination of all of them. But, the rattlesnakes were the things that made it ominous and scary. It made him dangerous sounding.
In the original comics, Namor was of Atlantean descent and was generally depicted as an aquatic-human hybrid like DC's Aquaman. His goal of wiping out all land-dwellers is the same in both the comic and the film. Still, the film goes the extra mile by incorporating a mesoamerican background and having his hatred for humanity be fueled by witnessing the Spaniards' ruthless conquering of the Mayans. Coogler was able to reinvent Namo and make his story feel relevant to a modern audience.
The mesoamerican themes and ties to Quetzalcoatl helped make the character Namor feel new but also familiar to longtime Marvel fans. Huerta's portrayal of the character has also expanded the range of Latino actors in Hollywood by giving them a larger-than-life character with a long history.
