I agree that the actor is Spanish and they're using a Mayan theme, but based on the trailer I got the impression he's half-wakandan. Is it confirmed yet what his origin is somewhere?

That, I do not know. However, Namor's backstory in the comics is somewhat tied to vibranium, so it's totally possible he has more personal reasons to attack Wakanda. I will say though, it would be weird for him to be half Wakandan. Like you said, they've already done that with Killmonger.
Daredevil: Born Again Announced During San Diego Comic-Con - IGN
Daredevil Born Again was announced during San Diego Comic-Con as Kevin Feige detailed his plans for MCU Phase 5. It will run 18 episodes.
His show is going to have 18 eps which sounds... crazy. But I do love the character and Cox's portrayal. Apparently the cancellation of season 4 was a huge blow, and one of the big reasons he hasn't taken any major roles lately.Daredevil: Born Again Announced During San Diego Comic-Con - IGN

I just know they're gonna fuck this up though... I don't even care about the grittiness and darkness of the original, I just want some good fucking fight scenes. Which these D+ shows have been sorely missing.
That trailer gives off, to me at least, an odd mix of Saturday Morning Kid’s show (like Power Rangers) and Saturday Evening Teen to Adult show (Xena, Hercules, Jack of All Trades) vibes.
I can’t really put my finger on why, but everything has a very safe feel. Like if Abomination gets loose the worst he’s gonna accomplish is flip a few tables at the local juice/smoothie bar or wreck a couple of derelict and abandoned warehouses.
And speaking of Abomination, the brief glimpse we saw didn’t exactly look like a vicious, murderous abomination. He looked like a borderline cute alien.
Daredevil’s costume looks like a costume rather than his armor/super suit.
I'm not entirely sure why they decided to go with the red and yellow suit. Some people love it when something, no matter how stupid it looks, is adapted to live action. Personally, I think they should have perfected his plain red suit first. His Netflix suit only ever really looked good in the dark.
I don't know how familiar you are with the comics, but Namor is rather infamous for making poorly thought out decisions.
I like the gunplay/swordplay mix in JW4. Really hoping it ends at 5 though but maybe it’s already a moot point to complain about sequelitis for this cash cow.

First of all, the ones supposedly denouncing it are the actors, who aren't exactly cashing off of it. Secondly, this article feels rather hostile toward actors who simply express their gratitude for finally being allowed to play characters in productions that typically don't allow that chance for people of color. I don't think anyone said anything about erasing Tolkien's work or denouncing it, other the writer of the article.The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power Actors Confirm Show Aims To Erase Tolkien's Work For The Sake Of Modernity

The Peter Jackson Trilogy did plenty of "erasing" itself, what with Tom Bombadil and the Cleansing of the Shire. It also changed entire characters like Gollum and Faramir in The Two Towers, and turned the Ents into apathetic characters that needed to get told by Merry and Pippin to do anything. And then there's Gimli who got reduced to a clown for the entire trilogy. I'm sorry, but this new show actually has a lot to live up to when it comes to changing Tolkien's work.
