*Mexican actor Tenoch Huerta has received praise for his portrayal of Namor in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” but now the breakout star is going viral after his bulge was allegedly edited out of the film.
Huerta responded to an on-set photo that is circulating online showing him in costume and his alleged bulge is clearly filling out the green shorts he’s wearing. But his package is noticeably smaller in that same image from a scene in the final movie.
“Give Namor his p**** back,” a Twitter user captioned the side-by-side photos — see below.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Huerta spoke about the bulge and whether or not his phallus received some CGI work to keep the film family-friendly.

“The only thing that I can say is: the original was the photo in the right. Without [the bulge]! That’s original. No, I mean, I’m not going to lie to people. Every man in the world, we have fragile masculinity, but not in that issue. I will say, the right one, the real one is the photo on the right,” Huerta told the publication.
One Twitter user noted of the “Wakana Forever” post-production team, “Imagine working overtime at 3 am and you haven’t seen your family in weeks because you have to airbrush out Namor the Submariner’s bulge frame by frame.”
In other news, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” continues to extend its reign at the domestic box office. The film was released on Nov. 11 and in its second weekend, the film collected $67.3 million, according to Variety.
