The post-credits of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 teased a villain who would bring the Guardians’ demise. Will Poulter has taken on this very task as Adam Warlock.
The search for Adam has been on for quite a bit, but in James Gunn fashion, the director had previously denied all rumors. Now that the deal is sealed, Gunn too confirms the news, welcoming Poulter on board.
Fans may say that Poulter is an unexpected choice for the rather flamboyant, super-powerful, and morally gray character of Adam Warlock. But it is only right to reserve our opinions for after we’ve seen Poulter’s rendition.
In fact, sources that revealed this cast addition said that Poulter’s screen test was too good to not give him the role.
So, who exactly is Adam in the comic books? This Reddit user surmises it perfectly:
But to prod a little deeper — In the comic books, Adam was artificially created on Earth, after which he rebelled against his scientists/makers and decided to gallivant all over space. He later on also comes in possession of the Soul Stone.
This parallels Ayesha’s “creation” of Adam in GOTG 2 and hints that he will have the stone in the move as well.
But the main digression is that in the comics, Adam had a prominent role with regards to the Infinity Gauntlet, a saga that has already completed its chapter in the MCU.
Of course, this just means that the movie will involve Adam in a more innovative manner, either adapting some of his other comic book arcs or creating a new story altogether. The latter is especially true, since Adam who was more like an ally to Guardians, has now been posed as their enemy in the movie.
As the plot around GOTG 3 remains hidden and filming yet to begin, any speculations on what’s to come, are simply that … speculations.
Still, it is great to get ourselves ready to see Poulter on-screen as Adam Warlock when the movie does come out in May 2023.
