The wait is finally going to be over as ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3′ is finally set out to make its way to the big screen on May 5, 2023. It will be the second movie in the MCU’s Phase 5. Not only this, the movie will be the debut of Adam Warlock in the MCU. Warlock is one of the most highly anticipated characters throughout the entire Guardians franchise.

At San Diego Comic-Con 2022, the team shared an exclusive first trailer with the ecstatic Hall H crowd confirming the appearance of Adam Warlock in the film. Let’s get to know more about this character and his role in MCU’s ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3‘.

Who Is Adam Warlock?

Adam Warlock, originally known as “Him” or Adam, is a fictional character in American comic books. The character first appeared in Fantastic Four #66–67 and Thor #163–166. Adam Warlock is created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and developed by Roy Thomas and Jim Starlin.

Warlock was the result of an experiment by scientists called the Enclave. They wanted to create an invincible human. However, his conscience became aware of this and he tried to conquer the world with his army. When he received his immense cosmic powers he immediately rebelled against the scientists, whom he considered evil. In the process, he wiped out the Enclave and their lab complex. Thus the all-powerful Adam Warlock was born.

Warlock Is Set To Make His Debut In MCU

In October 2021, it was revealed that Will Poulter will be cast as Adam Warlock. Poulter is known for his role in The ‘Revenant,’ and ‘Midsommar’ and just earned an Emmy nomination for ‘Dopesick’. The trailer that was played at San Diego Comic-Con 2022 included a however brief but confirming first look at Will Poulter in his MCU debut as Adam Warlock. We still don’t have any details about the official look of Adam Warlock’s full MCU design. Adam being one of the most powerful characters in Marvel’s history has the audience all hyped up.

Now if you are thinking about Warlock’s role in the movie, there is no official revelation from the makers yet. However, considering the fact that The High Evolutionary is rumored to be the main villain we would say that it’s pretty safe to assume that Adam would be fighting from our Guardian’s side. It is something the fans are looking forward to and will soon find out.
