This is very interesting, according to Joe Quesada, Head of TV at Marvel, the rights to Namor – The Submariner are now with Marvel.
It's unclear when they reverted back as they were believed to still be with Universal but if that's true this could mean some very interesting prospects for one of Marvel's oldest characters.
The main issue is that he's more or less the Marvel version of DC's Aquaman (or it's the other way round, I'm not sure), which could confuse audiences (both are rulers of Atlantis). However suddenly having the possibility of seeing Atlanteans could open the doors to some very interesting elements to add to the MCU.
Not to mention the Illuminati…

Soooo excited. I hope they bring him to life in the movies.
I've been wanting a Namor solo film from Marvel for the longest. I really hope this is true and that they have plans for him in the MCU.
Foreshadowing much?
