I hate movie rumors & most of them wind up being false but I’m hearing that the same person that confirmed Taskmaster being the main villian in the Black Widow movie (now confirmed) & the Mandarin being the main villian in Shang-Chi (now confirmed) is saying Namor will be the main villian in Black Panther 2.

The plot will revolve around Wakanda coming under attack from another ruler looking to take it under his/her control. And though Marvel was deciding on few different characters from the comics for who that ruler should be, they’ve now made their decision, apparently.

According to the sources – the same ones who told us that the real Mandarin will appear in Shang-Chi and Taskmaster will be the villain in Black Widow, both of which were later confirmed by Marvel – the studio has chosen Namor to be the main antagonist of Black Panther 2. The specifics of his role are still a bit unclear, but like we said above, the sequel will see hhTim trying to take control of Wakanda and become its ruler.

As with any scoop of this kind, we imagine Marvel may deny it publicly as they so often do. Currently, Black Panther 2 hasn’t been officially revealed yet, though we do know that the film appears to be in pre-production. Ryan Coogler will return to direct the sequel and most of the cast is expected to return.
