" @Edamame said:Cool. ; )" This sounds horrible, but how about ..... Christian Bale? ... LOL I am truly not sure about Namor casting. I will think more about this. "That doesn't sound horrible to me. Christian Bale is a great actor. "
" @Spartacus:never seen The Event saw Tekken though. a career black eye i guess.
Ian Anthony Dale fits the look, and he does mighty fine work on "The Event"![]()

" I always thought Jonathan Rhys Meyers would be a good King of the Sea. "He's really hott. But I happen to think that someone with a squarer jaw would be better. Ian Somerhalder?

He's really hott. But I happen to think that someone with a squarer jaw would be better. Ian Somerhalder? "Square Jaw Namor is more of a Silver Age super hero thing. Triangle Head Namor is the original sea elf thing. I'm good with either look, as long as the actor has the attitude... and can carry off the speedo. :)
I think Ian Somerhalder should at least be considered, he plays Damon in the Vampire Diaries. He's got the eyes, the body, and the attitude. Not the exact look, but look at Chris Hemsworth and Chris evans. Do they look EXACTLY like the roles they play? Maybe it's just me, I really prefer the Michael Turner Namor.

That's true, it's a big issue. And Der, any time Jae Lee draw Namor, it's bound to be steamy (lol, water reference).

" Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. "

If he were a better actor, he'd be perfect
" @Spartacus:This is a good pick. Another could be Daniel Dae Kim.

Oh so everyone throws a bitch fit about Heimdall being Black in Thor,but wouldn't mind if Rock(A Black-Samoan) played Namor????????
Jesus Christ!!!
while were at it lets swap Halle Berry from Storm and give Angelina Jolie the part... >_>
Oh and Brad pitt can be T'challa if hr ever comes into the movieverse...

I'm not even sure what the rant is supposed to be about. Namor is biracial with exotic features so there's going to be a lot of leeway on the racial heritage of whoever plays him. For me, it's more about the attitude, which has nothing to do with race.

Yeah, strongly agree. So based on this I believe that Sasha Roiz possibly carries these features, tho, hmm, I'm not sure about how he looks, I mean Namor is a great, majestic and playful in the same time! maybe Sasha has the serious look but playful or seductive?

Joseph Gordin-Levitt would be awesome if he hit the gym a bit. Maybe Jensen Akles.

Hmmmm. I Jensen Ackles, but I'm not sure this is the role for him. Joseph Gordon Levitt would have to LIVE at the gym. He's very slender.

I saw this guy in the movie TEKKEN last night. He has possibilities, at least for the arrogance and the look. Still not completely sold on him though.
