DidTenoch Huerta’s skin-tight costume as Namor inBlack Panther: Wakanda Foreversuggest just a bit too much?
In a recent interview withRolling Stone, the Marvel Cinematic Universe actor was asked about a viralTwitter postthat suggested Marvel used digital effects to remove Huerta’s bulge from Namor’s skin-tight green shorts for the final cut of the movie.
“The only thing that I can say is: the original was the photo in the right,” Huerta told the outlet, confirming that the rumor was false. “Without [the bulge]! That’s original.”
“No, I mean, I’m not going to lie to people,” the actor added. “Every man in the world, we have fragile masculinity, but not in that issue. I will say, the right one, the real one is the photo on the right.”

Huerta is not the first MCU actor to note how often skin-tight superhero costumes can draw attention to different parts of the body.
In March,Spider-Man: No Way HomeactorAndrew Garfield— who had not slipped into a Spider-Man suit since 2014’sThe Amazing Spider-Man 2— told PEOPLE thatdonning the suit again made him nervous.

“It was very scary, because I thought, ‘This is not going to look good,’ " he said of his return to his superhero costume. “I [was] 36, and I need to work much harder to keep my body in certain shape. So I was very nervous.”
Garfield, like Huerta, noted in an appearance onJimmy Kimmel Livein March that he and other Spider-Man actors,Tom HollandandTobey Maguire, could not help but notice bulges when the three Spider-Men slipped into costume, according toDigital Spy.
“We were all kind of thrown onto a set and kind of told to point at each other,” Garfield, 39, said of arriving on the set with Maguire. “And I think we got one good shot and that’s that because the rest of the time we were just laughing trying not to stare at each other’s crotches.”
“It was just like, comparing bulges,” the actor added at the time.
