If you've been a Marvel fan for long enough, you're probably aware that Sue Storm/Invisible Woman of the Fantastic Four has something of a history with Namor, the Sub-Mariner. And now, thanks to the official reveal of the cast of Avengers: Doomsday, we know for a fact that Sue and Namor will wind up in the same film, with both Vanessa Kirby and Tenoch Huerta Mejía named as part of the movie's still-expanding cast.

Some fans are, understandably, already worried about what this could mean for the relationship between Kirby's Sue Storm and Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, given the romantic tension that has existed between Sue and Namor for decades now, basically since Namor was brought into the modern day Marvel Universe in 1962's Fantastic Four #4.

Through it all, Namor has never been quite concerned with Sue's consent, and just about any romantic exchanges they have had are colored by Namor's insistence on pushing and even violating Sue's boundaries - something particularly potentially upsetting given actor Tenoch Huerta Mejía's own personal controversies surrounding allegations of sexual harassment, which remain unlitigated.
