A merchandise leak for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has seemingly offered a first look at the MCU's Namor the Sub-Mariner, played by Tenoch Huerta. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is expanding at a prodigious rate. Even as Marvel prepares for the release of Thor: Love & Thunder, the studio is gearing up to begin promotion for the next movie - Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The eagerly-anticipated sequel will explore the fate of Wakanda — and pass on the mantle of the Black Panther.
Marvel is yet to officially confirm any details about Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

The King of Atlantis is believed to be played by Tenoch Huerta, and his underwater kingdom will reportedly have been moved to offshore South America. This is presumably to help differentiate Marvel's version of Atlantis from the one seen in DC's Aquaman film.
