As the React Native Documentation says, all your images sources needs to be loaded before compiling your bundle
So another way you can use dynamic images it's using a switch statement. Let's say you want to display a different avatar for a different character, you can do something like this:
class App extends Component {
state = { avatar: "" }
get avatarImage() {
switch (this.state.avatar) {
case "spiderman":
return require('./spiderman.png');
case "batman":
return require('./batman.png');
case "hulk":
return require('./hulk.png');
default:
return require('./no-image.png');
}
}
render() {
return <Image source={this.avatarImage} />
}
}

Also, remember if your image it's online you don't have any problems, you can do:
let superhero = "spiderman";
<Image source={{ uri: `https://some-website.online/${superhero}.png` }} />
