Exclusive: Mabel Cadena discusses her underwater training to play Namora in BlackPantherWakandaForever, revealing she was close to Kate Winslet's AvatarTheWayOfWater record: 'I'm very competitive, so coach told me, 'Kate Winslet has the record...' 😂
Mabel Cadena reveals she nearly broke Kate Winslet's record while training for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever underwater scenes. Both Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Avatar: The Way of Water introduced water-based societies and featured numerous underwater scenes. To prepare the actors for these scenes, the filmmakers had them train with professionals to hold their breath for long stretches of time while filming.
During an exclusive interview with Screen Rant, Cadena discussed her underwater immersion training for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. She shared how quickly she was able to pick it up. Cadena also explained that her competitive nature came out, which motivated her to aim for Winslet's record. SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Mabel Cadena: My first immersion was around 30 seconds, and the same day I [was able to do] six minutes and thirty-five seconds. The training was amazing, because in the same day I can have a big difference [from] my first immersion to my second immersion. I'm very competitive, so Chris, my coach, told me, "Kate Winslet has the record, so if you want to be the winner, you need to learn a lot of things.
Winslet famously broke Tom Cruise's record by holding her breath for 7 minutes and 14 seconds. And while Cadena doesn't have an exact number, it is an impressive feat to come so close to the new record so soon after it was set. Camreon's underwater production was more similar to his motion capture style because of the immense CGI that is required to bring the Na'vi and Pandora to life.
The immersive worlds created by these filmmakers and the work put in by the actors to be able to bring the characters and world to life are impressive. Training to hold one's breath underwater for extended periods of time while swimming or fighting in order to capture the shot without being obscured by bubbles is impressive.
