Could A Namor Movie Be Coming Soon?

Probably not anytime real soon but you never know.

Here's another bit of "news" that came our way. According to CBM, a Facebook page popped up up for "NamorMovie" and had the following logo. The problem is, the Facebook page is now nowhere to be found. 
 
We've all seen plenty of fan made posters and trailers. It would be a piece of cake to slap something like this together. The writer over at CBM isn't one to make up "news" for the sake of gaining attention. I do believe that he did come across this but now it's gone. Either it was removed because Marvel wasn't ready to "announce" it or it was removed because it was fake and perhaps they were "asked" to do so.

The last word of a Namor movie (just over a year ago) had the rights owned by Universal. David   Boreanaz was even loosely attached at one point. I don't know the full details of Universal's deal but since they haven't made further plans on it either their hold on the rights lapsed or they made a deal with Marvel as they did with Hulk being able to be in the Avengers movie. 
 
Obviously it would make complete sense to have Namor appear in the Captain America movie with the Invaders. That would easily open the door to a spin-off movie just as we may see a Black Widow movie after the Avengers. 
 
What are your thoughts? Do you think a Namor movie would ever float or is this just the wishful thinking of a big Sub-Mariner fan?
