Could A Namor Movie Be Coming Soon?

Probably not anytime real soon but you never know.

No Caption Provided
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?

" I don't know about him having his own movie but it would be a great idea for him to have an appearance in either CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER or FANTASTIC FOUR 3. "
second that notion, both excellent starting points for an introduction. I'd love to see a live cgi of the torch discovering who he is and giving him the flame shave he did. "
Captain America would be sweet. Not Fantastic four, We don't need Fox owning the rights to Namor.

" I actually read an interview from CBM with Joe Johnston saying that Namor will be in Captain America and without wings. "

No, That actually didnt happen ha ha. the question was "will Namor have wings?" and the responce was "No". But this is a stupid question because it still does not confirm whether or not namor will be in the movie. the question should have been "Will we see Namor in the movie?" But by Joe johnston saying no to him having no wings still does not confirm if he is in the movie or not, to me it sounding like he was just humoring the interviewer. Saying no to his question knowing fully he wont be in the movie at all. people like to jump to conclutions on CBM. It would be awesome if he was in Captain America, but I really don't see it happening. P,lus i'm pretty sure Universal still own the rigt to Namor, so they would have to work out some kind of distribution deal with universal like they did with Hulk, but it is still Paramount that will be distributing Captain America, so I think thats the problem and that would have influence in Captain America to not have Namor in it.
But we can still hope! ha ha

i thought it was already confirmed he was in Cap? 
I've been hoping for a Namor movie for YEARS.  It could be such a great flic if done right. Dark, otherworldly contrasted with the 'surface world'.  
And a fantastic but bizarre actor to do it.  A powerful intensity.  None of these fluff actors who would do better on the WB or Disney.  Someone with chops.

Is there really any actors who could be Namor? Maybe a new comer should be Namor. Probably the best thing for now.

I'd much rather see a Moon Knight or even Black Panther movie, Namor never really interested me.

Heh ... It certainly would give me a reason to go see more movies.

That's DC failure to expand their movie universe properly.   Besides, Namor was created before Aquaman, so of course, he deserves too hit the movie theater first.

I've read a few rumors of Pixar being interested in Marvel properties, and I can help but think Namor would an idea choice all around, since the under water scenes are such a difficult.
 
Well, except for Namor being such non-kid friendly, d**k at times.

I'd actually be more interested in a Namor movie than I am in the Thor movie that's on the way.

As long as Fox doesn't produce it, I think this could work. If they do, be prepared for Carrot Top in a speedo with cheap CGI ankle-wings.

I hope they create this, or even an animated feature would be good. I actually think the animated feature would be better, it would be hard to do anything else.  
Although that could help the upcoming captain america flick. 
 
 We'll have to wait and see.

Let the Avengers take its course...Namor I am pretty sure will be at least mentioned and brieftly touch on.  If it flies...I think he will be in the Sequel for sure and if enough is generated even after the first Avengers...I think he will be a shoe in.

The fellow that created the mysterious fan poster that was yanked off Facebook has explained what happened and put up some more posters and a fan video at Comic Book Movie.  I don't agree with his casting choice, but I thought they looked pretty good.

This would be AWESOME!!!! And also, Aquaman is definitely the most useless being in the comics omniverse, passing even Flatman
