New MCU character alert! Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will bring forth a new enemy-turned-ally, a brand new addition to the cast and the MCU, Adam Warlock. The character has a massive role in the upcoming 2023 film directed by James Gunn.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will see the return of Star-Lord/Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), Drax (Dave Bautista), Mantis (Pom Klemetieff), Rocket (Bradley Cooper), Groot (Vin Diesel), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), and Nebula (Karen Gillan).
The new additions to James Gunn’s third directorial installment in the film series include Will Poulter, playing Adam Warlock, and Chukwudi Iwuji, playing The High Evolutionary. Other returning characters are Sovereign Queen Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki), Kraglin (Sean Gunn), Stakar Ogord (Sylvester Stallone), and Cosmo the Spacedog (Maria Bakalova).
The third film in the Guardians of the Galaxy series will release five years after the previous installment, and fans have grown antsy to see the final movie of the action-adventure film series. The movie has been delayed due to James Gunn’s temporary dismissal due to a scandal and his commitment to his DC projects, Peacemaker and The Suicide Squad.
At their San Diego Comic-Con 2022 panel, Marvel announced Will Poulter and Chukwudi Iwuji’s characters, with a surprise appearance by Iwuji in his High Evolutionary costume. James Gunn has also spoken up about Adam Warlock’s introduction in the MCU and his interpretation of the Marvel Comics character.
In the comics, Adam Warlock is an artificial being and the son of Ayesha, The Sovereign’s High priestess and the leader of her people, in addition to being an enemy of the Guardians. His powers include superhuman strength, agility, speed, and the ability to manipulate cosmic energy for flight, energy projection, and immortality. With each regeneration owed to his cosmic powers, Adam Warlock’s abilities grow in strength.
Fans are excited to see Gunn’s vision for the powerful Adam Warlock in the upcoming MCU film and Will Poulter’s performance. With Gunn proving his ability to give the viewers good antagonists in his previous projects, like Ronan and Ego, we can expect Adam Warlock to be the most formidable enemy of the Guardians.
When The High Evolutionary emerges to “claim” Rocket, since he is the genetically modified being’s creator, Star-Lord must lead his team to save one of their own while dealing with his own emotional turmoil over Gamora. The odds are even dicier as they are also being pursued by Adam Warlock, who has orders from Ayesha to kill them.
In an interview with ScreenRant, James Gunn discussed his process of creating his vision of the Marvel Comics character and his plan to deliver a satisfactory villain.
I think, like all of the Guardians, he has a very specific personality. When you have a character like Adam, who has been written by a bunch of different comic book writers, each one has their own take on Adam. This is our take on Adam, and I think he’s a pretty spectacular character.
The trailer for the film was also shown at Marvel’s panel at Comic-Con, and attendees have mentioned that the trailer will portray an emotional journey for Quill and his teammates, especially Rocket. The trailer has not yet been released online, but we can expect it in the upcoming months since the film is set to premiere on May 5, 2023.
