In terms of his acting, I wasn't too impressed with him in Battlestar Galactica. In terms of looks, yeah; he'd work.

see this thread is a classic example of what i am like when it comes to casting namor. i know what i don't like (most of these suggestions, sorry!) but i don't know what i DO like (apart from not a white guy, or too old/young)! why is he so difficult!

Personally I've had Mark Strong in my head for Namor for a while now.

He may not have the eyebrows, but he can do regal and smarmy like nobody's business.

I like Luke Evans or Richard Armitage for the role.

I've always thought Ian Somerhalder would be a good Namor.

Daniel Henney (who is playing Michael Noshimuri on the Hawaii 5-0 series) is quite handsome and can pull off the 'haughty king' look very well. I think he could easily play Namor.

See I love Daniel Henney's look! I was just thinking about him last night. Er. In context of this role. not like idly thinking about him

It's just such a pity he's a terrible actor.

It's been said elsewhere, but I agree with Tahmoh Penikett.

Yea I thought about him too. He'd be Perfect. And you take a guy that's just at the crusp of stardom, you know it's coming but he's not there yet. He's at the ideal time to cast him in a role like this, that's gonna make him a star.
