James Gunn Says Don’t Expect Adam Warlock To be A Good Guy In Guardians 3

James Gunn says don’t expect Adam Warlock to be a good guy in Guardians 3

Director and current DCU co-executive James Gunn says don’t expect Adam Warlock to be a good guy in Guardians 3. At least, that’s not where Adam’s story will start. Gunn recently spoke to Empire Online. Here is what Gunn had to say about where Warlock is at when we first meet him in the upcoming threequel.

“It’s kind of more complicated than that,” he tells Empire. “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.”

Gunn also went on to say why he went after Will Poulter for Adam.

“People online were saying, ‘Oh, Tom Cruise should be Adam Warlock,’” says Gunn, who had other ideas. “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,” teases Gunn.

Given how important Adam Warlock was in the comics, this really could be a big role for Poulter that goes on for many years. Of course that remains to be seen and Adam was already absent from the Infinity Saga which is where you would associate the character most from the comics. I’d guess we may see Adam turn up in either Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, or Avengers: Secret Wars. It will be interesting to see how Adam is developed going forward in the MCU. Especially as this is the last MCU movie for a long while where Poulter will get to work with James Gunn. Gunn’s sole focus after Guardians 3 releases will be on his DCU duties. Though, I guess you never know what the future holds?

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 releases on May 5th of this year. That’s not too long until we get the final film of this Guardian teams trilogy.
