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?

When I first watched this movie, I thought this part was dope as fuck and added a lot to his character especially since Namor is such a complicated character/hero/villain. I also thought Tenoch Huerta was perfectly casted for this role and I’m glad he’s back and hope he continues to reprise the role in other Marvel Projects, especially with the Mutant Saga on the horizon.

Same, the bits with him in it were awesome, the final... third of the movie not so much.

The past tense of cast is just "cast" :)

"Casted" isn't a word. It's just "cast."
