With the film now streaming on Disney+, Marvel has released a new featurette for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, explaining how Namor’s wings work.
- The new featurette includes insight from visual effects supervisor Geoffrey Baumann and head of visual development Ryan Meinerding.
- Baumann explains that they wanted to give Namor a unique style of movement by combining various existing styles:
- “We kind of landed in a world that was probably combining the flight patterns of hummingbirds along with larger birds of prey.”
- Meinerding also explains that director Ryan Coogler wanted to include elements of parkour and that led to the style that looks as though Namor is running through the sky.
- You can check out the full featurette below and stream Black Panther: Wakanda Forever now on Disney+.
