A new image from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 introduces Will Poulter as Adam Warlock.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 features the long-awaited Marvel Cinematic Universe debut of Adam Warlock, with British actor Will Poulter tasked with bringing the iconic comic book character to life. Empire Magazine has revealed a never-before-seen image from the upcoming Marvel Studios feature, which shows off Poulter in full costume as Adam. You can check it out below.
When asked if Adam Warlock’s mission is to take down the Guardians of the Galaxy, James Gunn told Empire that “it’s kind of more complicated than that. But he’s definitely not a good guy. What we’re seeing is the infant form of Warlock, newly out of the cocoon, and he does not understand life very well. He’s basically a baby.”
James Gunn went on to add the following about Will Poulter’s Adam Warlock casting and his future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: “People online were saying, ‘Oh, Tom Cruise should be Adam Warlock.’ I wanted somebody who was youthful, and I wanted the person who had the dramatic chops and the comedic chops, not only for this movie but for what Marvel will use Adam Warlock for in the future. He could become this really important character.
The storyline and cast of Vol. 3
With the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 trailer now available on the web, Marvel has also dropped a synopsis for the movie, which reads as follows: “The beloved band of misfits are looking a bit different these days. Peter Quill, still reeling from the loss of Gamora, must rally his team around him to defend the universe along with protecting one of their own. It’s a mission that, if not completed successfully, could quite possibly lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them.”
Written and directed by James Gunn, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Elizabeth Debicki, Sean Gunn, Sylvester Stallone, Will Poulter, Chukwudi Iwuji and Maria Bakalova.
