Adam Warlock was a big part of the Infinity Gauntlet miniseries and storyline in the comics, but he hasn’t yet been seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe outside of that end credits scene. There is no information about what kind of role he’ll play in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.” He could be a villain, he could be a hero, or he could start as a villain and end up a hero. I vote for the third, but I trust in anything James Gunn is doing, so whatever we see, I’m sure I’ll be very happy. 

“Guardians of the Galaxy 3” will also feature the return of Gamora (Zoe Saldaña), Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper, motion captured by Sean Gunn), Nebula (Karen Gillan), Groot the tree (voiced by Vin Diesel), Mantis (Pom Klementieff), and Drax (Dave Bautista). Sylvester Stallone will return as Stakar Ogord, Sean Gunn will once again play Kraglin, and Chukwudi Iwuji (recently seen in Gunn’s TV series “Peacemaker”) is playing an as-yet undisclosed role. 

Will Poulter is known for his work in “Midsommar,” “Black Mirror: Bandersnatch,” “Detroit,” and “The Revenant.” I am so hyped for this movie! 

The Guardians will return first in a holiday special on Disney+ this December, and “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” is set for release on May 5, 2023.
