Will Poulter gave an interview during a film festival and spoke about his role in the anticipated Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which will star him as the comic book powerhouse, Adam Warlock. Adam Warlock is expected to be a threat to the Guardians in the upcoming sequel, so expect to see a full reveal sometime next year.
The character was teased in the post-credits scene of the second Guardians of the Galaxy film and ever since then, it's been quiet in the Marvel Universe for the character. Now, fans have finally figured out who will be playing the character, and later they will hopefully learn what his role in the story will be.
Right now, it's been slightly teased that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will have a thematic focus on the sisters Gamora and Nebula. However, Poulter spoke to Flip Your Wig about his upcoming superpowered role in the new film, suggesting Adam Warlock will also be important. During a carpet interview, the actor said, "I feel very, very lucky and very honored to [have] been welcomed into the Marvel family." He continued to speak about the Guardians of the Galaxy series, saying, "I regard [the Guardians films] to be incredibly creative and very, very unique. And James Gunn [is] someone I really, really admire. So, I feel very lucky."
Poulter appeared to be very thankful for the opportunity and also spoke about "getting ready," which may imply a vigorous workout regimen in order to get into a superhero physique. However, it just may allude to the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 filming schedule, which should be starting soon. The film will be one of the Marvel Studios features for the fourth phase slate, which resumed this year with Black Widow.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will undoubtedly do well in terms of box office numbers due to all of the behind-the-scenes drama tied to it. With Gunn being fired then re-hired after fans and actors protested his termination, there's no doubt that the film will be a big topic, to say the least. Gunn has been a big topic due to his successful The Suicide Squad film, so many expect nothing less for his Marvel film.
Poulter has starred in many different films, including Maze Runner, Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, Ari Aster's Midsommar, We're the Millers, and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. The actor has many credits under his belt, so hopefully, the fans get what they're looking for when he makes his Marvel debut in theaters.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is scheduled to be released in theaters on May 5, 2023.
