Marvel Studios is introducing new characters to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Phase 4, but did Moon Knight episode 1 include a bizarre reference to Atlantis and Namor? Oscar Isaac's debut as Moon Knight has arrived on Disney+ after much anticipation for the actor and character to join the MCU. Moon Knight episode 1 could surprise some viewers with how disconnected it is from the rest of the shared universe. However, there might be a truly bizarre reference to Namor's mythology and the underwater city of Atlantis.
Namor the Sub-Mariner is widely expected to make his MCU debut at some point in Phase 4. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is rumored to include the underwater king as the primary villain for Shuri, Okoye, Nakia, and M'Baku. Namor is expected to be played by Tenoch Huerta, as other rumors indicate additional Atlanteans will be involved in the movie's reported Atlantis vs Wakanda conflict. Marvel Studios has not confirmed Namor's role in Black Panther 2, but it is now possible that Moon Knight episode 1 included a surprising tease of his world.

While London does have a business known as The Atlantis Bookshop, the logo is not a match for what is included in the MCU series. This indicates that the mysterious Atlantis signage was put there by Marvel Studios, which would inevitably draw eyes toward Namor.
