Need More Namor? Where to Watch ‘Wakanda Forever’ Star Tenoch Huerta’s Shows and Films on Netflix, HBO Max, and More

Marvel‘s latest blockbuster Black Panther: Wakanda Forever premieres tonight, giving audiences a chance to grieve the late, great Chadwick Boseman while welcoming new heroes and villains into the MCU. While the film provides a showcase for the likes of Letitia Wright’s Shuri, Lupita Nyong’o’s Nakia, and newcomer Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne), Prince Namor (Tenoch Heurta Mejía) steals the show.

Prince Namor, aka the Sub-Mariner, is one of the oldest characters in Marvel comics, showing up alongside Captain America in World War II era storylines. Namor is the tempestuous ruler of the underwater superpower Atlantis, graced with super strength, the ability to breathe above and under water, and winged feet that allow him to fly. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever updates Namor’s lore. Atlantis is now Talokan, a riff on the Aztec utopia of Tlālōcān, and Namor is called K’uk’ulkan, the winged serpent god of the Aztecs. We are told he earns the nickname Namor for his cruelty fighting Spanish invaders of his mother’s homeland in the Yucatan peninsula.

What makes Namor so compelling as a Marvel antagonist is, much like Black Panther‘s villain Killmonger, he makes good points! You may even find yourself rooting for Namor and his people to win victory by the end of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. What makes Namor so charismatic, though, is actor Tenoch Huerta Mejía, also credited as Tenoch Huerta.

So who is Tenoch Huerta? And where can you watch Namor actor Tenoch Heurta shows and movies on Netflix, HBO Max, and more? Here’s everything you need to know to sate your crush on about Tenoch Huerta…
