Will Poulter (“The Maze Runner,” “Detroit”) has scored the key role of famed Marvel character Adam Warlock in the upcoming Marvel Studios title “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3”.
James Gunn is writing and directing the feature which is currently readying for production ahead of a shoot later this year and throughout early next year with a release set for May 3rd, 2023.
Poulter reportedly beat out the likes of Rege-Jean Page (“Bridgerton”) and George MacKay (“1917”) for the role which was first teased in a post-credits scene in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2”.
Jack Kirby and Stan Lee created the character, a genetically perfect immortal cosmic being with basically every superpower you could think of. How that’s being translated on screen isn’t clear at this point.
Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Bradley Cooper, and Vin Diesel are all returning for the new film which begins filming in November. Poulter will soon be seen in Hulu’s “Dopesick”.
