Marvel’s Namor Actor Gave A Funny Five-Word Response When Asked About His Character Possibly Getting Romantic With Sue Storm In Avengers: Doomsday

by

Details about the upcoming *Avengers: Doomsday* movie are still scarce. But with the film scheduled for release in 2026, I’ve been thinking about which characters might team up – and one interesting idea is Namor and Sue Storm. In the Marvel comics, Namor has always been in love with Sue, which creates drama with her husband, Reed Richards. When asked directly about this possibility, the actor who plays Namor gave a surprisingly amusing five-word answer.

So, I was watching this interview with Tenoch Huerta – you know, the amazing Namor from *Black Panther: Wakanda Forever* – and they asked him about the possibility of his character’s comic book connection with Sue Storm showing up in future Marvel movies. He was on the *Aura Series* YouTube channel, and his response was *perfect*. He just laughed and said, in five words, everything a fan like me wanted to hear!

I really like Pascal, man.

It was a clever response, especially since Pedro Pascal played Sue Storm’s husband, Mister Fantastic, in this year’s *Fantastic Four: First Steps*. Huerta is clearly aware fans are closely watching, and his teasing reply just intensified the rumors.

I’ve always been fascinated by the dynamic between Sue Storm and Namor. From the moment they met way back in *Fantastic Four* #4 in 1962, Namor was clearly smitten with Sue, and it sometimes felt a little intense, even obsessive. While Sue has generally been devoted to Reed, I’ve noticed she’s occasionally seemed drawn to Namor herself, especially when things aren’t going perfectly with her husband. It’s a complicated connection, and it’s always made their story so compelling to me.

Namor has a long history with Sue Storm, marked by kidnapping, attempts to conquer the surface world to impress her, and repeated interference in the Fantastic Four’s affairs. While alternate versions of their story have shown Sue choosing Namor over Reed, the main storyline has always depicted her remaining loyal to Reed, despite being drawn to Namor. This complex and morally ambiguous relationship could be a compelling addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe if explored.

I’m really hoping the Russos explore the Namor and Sue Storm relationship in the upcoming movie! Considering how huge this film is going to be – they’re saying over 25 major Marvel characters will appear – anything could happen. Seriously, with powerhouses like Loki and even the X-Men (who started at Fox!) joining the mix, I’m expecting some wild team-ups and maybe even some surprising sparks between characters.

Disney+ is a streaming service where you can watch all things Marvel (MCU), and it costs as little as $9.99 per month with ads. You can also choose an ad-free plan for $15.99 a month, or save 16% by paying $159.99 for a full year. Check out the deal here!

Tenoch Huerta has discussed his upcoming appearance as Namor in *Avengers: Doomsday*. He explained that it was a more straightforward experience than playing the main villain in *Wakanda Forever*. On the show *La Resolana Con El Capi*, he mentioned that while his role will be smaller due to the large cast, it will still be important to the story.

The story features a large cast of characters in their twenties. Because of this, each character will have a relatively smaller part to play, ensuring there’s enough room for everyone and the different worlds within the story.

I was really impressed with how much he talked about Vanessa Kirby, who played Sue Storm in *First Steps* – he called her performance fantastic! It definitely sounds like there’s a strong connection between Namor and the Invisible Woman, and honestly, I’m excited to see where that goes, even if it doesn’t become a typical love triangle.

The directors of the Avengers movies, the Russo Brothers, are staying tight-lipped about what’s coming in the next film. However, a recent rumor suggests we might get our first look at a trailer for *Avengers: Doomsday* when *Avatar: Fire and Ash* hits theaters this December. If true, could this be our first time seeing Sue Storm and Namor on screen? Only time will tell.

The new Avengers movie, *Doomsday*, is coming to cinemas on December 18, 2026, and *Secret Wars* will be released the following year. Until we get more details, fans can rewatch all the Marvel films in order with a Disney+ subscription.
