Will Poulter Will Play ADAM WARLOCK in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3

After teasing his appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Adam Warlock looks ready to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the next installment of the hit franchise. Sources tell Deadline, Will Poulter has landed the role of Warlock in Marvel’s highly anticipated sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy. James Gunn is returning to direct with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige producing.

Adam Warlock is a character that comic book fans have been waiting to see since he was teased at the end of GotG Vol. 2. It feels like a billion names were thrown out there from Adam Driver to Henry Cavill and more, but I had not heard SQUAT about Will Poulter being in consideration until a few days ago. And that is really fucking tragic considering I just interviewed him 1 week ago:

FUCK! We spent like 20 minutes talking about his Arsenal fandom! I coulda spent that time asking him about his big golden hog in this upcoming movie! In the comics, Adam Warlock was created by scientists to be the perfect human to use to conquer the earth. He's basically superman, but he can teleport, he's sort of omnipotent to cosmic events, he can manipulate matter, wield the Infinity Gauntlet, project energy, and he's also just straight up immortal. In the MCU, he was created by those golden people from GotG2, the Sovereign. 

This is a massive role for Poulter, and after chatting with him, I think he is up to the challenge.
