Marvel Is Reportedly Planning a SUB-MARINER Film or TV Project
Last year Marvel CCO Joe Queseda made it clear that Marvel Studios owned the rights to Namor the Sub-Mariner. When asked if there were plans for a Sub-Mariner film project, Queseda said that he could neither confirm or deny. Beyond that and fan speculation, there has been no real indication that Marvel Studios was doing anything with the property until today.
Reel News Hawaii, who previously revealed that Marvel's The Inhumans series was shooting in Hawaii, tweeted information saying that there are two rival productions that could be shooing in Hawaii as well. Those projects are Aquaman and Sub-Mariner. Here's the the tweet:
There's buzz around the island that two rival productions could be swimming on our waters. "Aquaman" & "Submariner". Fingers crossed! pic.twitter.com/1WLbZkWJAN

There's no other information beyond that. But if Marvel is actually scouting locations in Hawaii for a Sub-Mariner film or TV project, that would be awesome! I have no idea if there is any truth to this, but the source was right about The Inhumans, so we'll just have to wait and see what someone from Marvel has to say when they're eventually asked about it. I imagine the response will be the same as Queseda's as not being able to confirm or deny.
With Aquaman coming out it would be cool to see a Sub-Mariner film. I'd like to see who would take these water superhero characters and do it better. If a Sub-Mariner project is happening, though, I'd bet on it. being a TV series.
