Namor, the antihero who calls Atlantis home, will make an appearance in the upcoming Captain America movie. Comicbookmovie.com asked Captain America director Joe Johnston at Comic Con if Namor will have wings on his feet which he replied “Ah, no.” For months, the fans have been speculating if Namor will make a cameo and today Joe Johnston confirmed it. While Namor can breathe in the ocean, he also has super human strength. He can also fly by using his little wings on his feet, oh how will they explain this in the movie?? Well Captain America doesn’t have wings on his mask either so it’s obvious Johnston isn’t a fan of tiny angelic wings. I doubt we’ll see Namor flying in the movie and Captain America doesn’t fly to begin with so it makes sense to remove them. Namor is seen sometimes as a bad guy in the comic book because of his short temper, but for the most part, he’s a good guy, think Wolverine but in the ocean.
Here’s more pics of Namor with his wings:
To other Captain America news from SDCC, Marvel showed off his shield used in the movie:

I like it! The shield looks heavy and looks lethal. Captain America’s shield is very iconic so I’m glad they got it right.
Captain America: The First Avenger will be released in July 22, 2011
