Hasbro Pulse revealed the roster for the Namor the Sub-Mariner action figure from Marvel Studios’ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

This figure comes with a description that reveals a major change to Namor’s background from the comics for his MCU debut. On the big screen, he will be the ruler of a country called Talocan, an underwater civilization, not the usual Atlantean empire.

While it’s not based on anything special from Marvel Comics, its name is similar to a place from the Aztec legend called Tlālōcān, known as a cultural haven for those who died from drowning or being struck by lightning.

Having Black Panther 2 introduce this version of Namor as coming from the Aztec civilization would help make a difference from its roots in Atlantis while also bringing more culture to the MCU.
