To give Namor a more ominous air BlackPanther: WakandaForever used rattlesnake sounds for the winged feet of the feathered serpent god.
When Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was being promoted to viewers, it was clear that despite the African kingdom losing its king and protector, they were still an exceedingly powerful nation. So, this meant, whoever was going to lead the assault on the most powerful nation in the world had to be equally powerful – not just powerful but scary and ominous. Step forward, the K'uk'ulkan aka Namor , the subaquatic villain and king of the underwater kingdom of Talokan.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY A detail many might have missed while watching the action-packed sequel is the one in which the sounds of the wings were modeled to sound like rattlesnakes. In a recent conversation with Skywalker Sound, sound editors Steve Boeddeker and Benny Burtt revealed that Coogler’s suggestion for the sound of the wings came about two weeks before wrapping the film’s sound components.
"For example, Namor's wings. At one point Ryan was just like, 'have you tried rattlesnakes? This may sound like a bad idea, but what about rattlesnakes.' So we did, we did a combination of all of them. But, the rattlesnakes were the things that made it ominous and scary. It made him dangerous sounding. That was honestly late in the game too. In the last two weeks, and idea that was thrown out and changed a lot for us.
The whole idea of the sounds is a testament to the ability and attention to detail Coogler puts into his work. Namor is known by his own admission, as the K’uk’ulkan by his friends and Namor by his enemies. The term “K’uk’ulkan” means the Amazing Serpent, a deity worshipped by the people of Mesoamerican culture upon which the underwater kingdom of Talokan draws its inspiration. The noise of rattlesnakes for wing sounds was a subtle yet necessary nod to the Feathered Serpent god.
