Fans of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever had an outrage online following the release of a behind-the-scenes of Tenoch Huerta’s Namor and many noticed that the crotch area of the anti-hero has been digitally altered. Finally, Tenoch Huerta breaks his silence on the edits, and it is a surprising reaction from him. As reported by The Direct, Tenoch Huerta spoke with Rolling Stone regarding the major digital alteration on Namor’s crotch area and he said that the more pronounced shot of him was the one which is edited, and the one in the film is actually what is real. Huerta said, “The only thing that I can say is the original was the photo on the right. Without! That’s the original.” Huerta added, “No, I mean, I’m not going to lie to people. Every man in the world, we have fragile masculinity, but not in that issue. I will say, the right one, the real one is the photo on the right.”

In the same interview, Huerta also shared his physical preparations for the role and he is quite worried about it, “I actually worry about it. No, it’s a big problem, man, I can’t cut off my amount of tacos from now on. But, yeah, it’s funny. I don’t know.” Huerta further explained, “It’s something that my trainer told me, ‘Okay, man, now you can rest, you can chill and take your time. But not too much, because if you. have to play Namor one more time, you need to go through the same process all over again. So, it’s better you take care of yourself and don’t get crazy with tacos.” Namor is known to be one of the oldest characters from the Marvel comics dating back to 1939 and his appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe through Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is quite altered, instead of being the king of Atlantis, he hails from Talokan.
Namor is finally introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the leader of the Talokan Kingdom, an underwater tribe living undetected for more or less 500 years with their own source of vibranium and when their exclusion from the world was disturbed, Wakanda was the first place they asked for help. Surely, Namor will be back in the Marvel Cinematic Universe one way or another. It is not impossible, too, that he could be fighting alongside the Avengers should they share the same cause because Namor really cares a lot for his people and if they are messed with, the world would feel the wrath of Namor. See Tenoch Huerta’s Namor in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever now showing in theaters worldwide.
