Tenoch Huerta, who plays a leading villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has denied allegations of sexual assault made against him on social media by the musician and activist María Elena Ríos.
In a statement sent to Variety and published on his Instagram, the Mexican actor, best known as the Indigenous superhero/rival Namor in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, called Río’s claims “false and unsubstantiated”, saying “I cannot let it go unchallenged any longer.”
