Interestingly, the famous actor always favored a more complex character: Namor the Sub-Mariner. He’s spoken about being a fan of Namor since childhood, explaining that he always liked the character and collected all the comics.
Namor’s aggressive fighting style and fierce commitment to protecting his underwater kingdom closely align with the strong, often stern, personalities of Eastwood’s most iconic roles. While Namor recently appeared in Marvel movies, Eastwood is now too old to play the king of Atlantis himself.
However, Namor’s ruthless approach to justice – prioritizing his own code over conventional laws – would be a natural fit for Eastwood’s cool demeanor and on-screen presence. While he may not be able to star as Namor, many fans believe he’d be the ideal director for a film exploring the anti-hero’s uncompromising nature.
