Namor's cousin in Wakanda Forever.
Loved her as Namora but Namora you can tell she has no love for the surface world at all which is understandable
I mean, *Namor* has little love for the surface world, but yeah.
I kind of suspect that Namora is going to fill the role of "traitor who attempts to overthrow Namor" in a future appearance. She definitely gave the vibe that she was *not* pleased they were making even as much peace with Wakanda as they were. Maybe she views the Wakandans as just more surfacers to be killed, maybe she just was *really* excited about the prospect of waging immediate global war. I'm not sure. Either way, if Namor is going to get a push more towards the heroic direction, its probably going to start with "Namora launches a coup while mouthing very similar platitudes to the ones he's promoted for centuries."
I mean that's the role Attuma should've been serving, with Namora also conflicted over the decision.

I mean, that's the arrangement in the comics, sure. There is no good reason why the movie can't swap the roles around.
I mean one good reason is the lack of strong villains in the MCU.
If Namora filled the traditional role of Attuma vis a vis "Usurping rival", no reason *she* couldn't be the "strong villain". Though honestly complaining about either in the context of BP2 feels weird given that *Namor himself* was the villain of the movie, and one of stronger ones in the MCU to date in terms of characterization and importance.
