If they had a decent writer, I could see it being good. Statham was a swimmer at one point, no?

I think this proves why Marvel is far superior to DC. Marvel brings throwback super heroes back out of file cabinet and makes kick ass movies about them.

@Annalee: Speaking as a gay man, we (or at least I) don't need a rumor to drool on him and have false hope. Ever heard of a Six-Pack Queer? ;-)

As for the original posts question, "Can you picture it?" The answer is yes, and it's not an unpretty picture. Now once that picture starts talking, alas, then things might get ugly.

@Sleepyhead: It shouldn't really matter if he's gay. We don't sit around debating the straightness of people, do we?

@Annalee: Well, according to the movie Crank, his piece is, and I quote, "Magnum Sized", so you can understand their false hope!

I think Keanu would make a dandy Namor... if he went to the gym a little bit more and worked on his emotionless expression.

Anyway for Namor who must of the time has the same dull face he would only need to practice another stage... when the "Prince" it's REALLY pist-off which is 50% of the time then back to being an "ivory statue".

@Sleepyhead: Yeah, seriously. I think the whole "he's gay" thing was more about "now the dudes can drool on him and have false hope."

@heathermylove: No, it's because he likes guys.

Gay or not, Statham pretty much defines badass. Though Namor seems like a waste of his talents.

I thought The Rock was signed to play Namor?

Ease up. Simply discussing Who's Gay Rumors of is not homophobia. No one said it was icky or swore they wouldn't see his films anymore.

@Niteowl: It is because he is British?

Not to piss on anyone's cornflakes, but it's rumoured that he's gay, no?

@lucyjae: Word. I'd watch him clip his toenails.

I would watch him paint walls and read the phone book for two hours if that's what his next movie was about

On the good side being 4' tall doesn't make a difference underwater.
