In a profile on the character on Marvel’s official website, Wakanda Forever director Ryan Coogler talked a bit more in-depth about the powers that Namor possesses. Besides being able to swim incredibly fast and fly, Coogler noted that there really is “no equal” to what Namor can do and that his strength alone matches that of Thor.
“[There’s] no equal in terms of his capabilities, being able to breathe underwater and breathe at high altitudes and walk around on land,” said Coogler. “He’s incredibly strong, he’s as strong as Thor, and if he’s around enough water he can be as strong as the Hulk.”
Namor’s strength is hinted at just barely in various footage from the sequel. However, fans will have to see the movie to see just how strong the leader of Talokan can get.
