The wrestler of WWE’s main television program, WWE RAW, reportedly had a big audition. And the big audition as we have read through the title of this article is for the role of Namor in Black Panther 2. “Huh really? Seriously?”
Well if you want to confirm the validity of whether the news is true or not, we can’t be 100% sure. But if you look at the source who first reported it, Sean Sapp, it could be that this report is indeed legit.
This is because Sean Sapp has always been known as one of the most prominent and trusted journalists in the pro-wrestling media industry.
Audition Failure
Now let’s assume that the report that Sapp got is true. So let’s continue with the details of this report.
So according to Sapp, based on the details he got. Damien Priest basically got the call to audition for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022).
During the audition, he was told to read the script created for the character VITAL in the film. Now according to Sapp’s sources, the vital character figure is none other than Namor. But at the same time, he could also be auditioning for one of the Talokan nation members in the film.
Unfortunately, Priest failed to land the role. And yes guys. If you look at the appearance and also the background of Priest, who is of Puerto Rican blood, aka Latino. So it makes sense that he was targeted for the role of Namor.
But yes, in the end it was Tenoch Huerta (The Forever Purge) who was cast as Namor. Now, what do you think about this news?
