English actor Will Poulter is ready to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the next installment of Guardians of the Galaxy.
According to Deadline, after teasing his appearance at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2, Will Poulter has landed the role of Adam Warlock the hit franchise. The character was first teased in a post-credit scene of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, when Ayesha, played by Elizabeth Debicki, unveils to her chambermaid the perfect Sovereign she has created to help destroy the Guardians once and for all. Ever since that scene, fans have waited patiently to see who would ultimately play that character, with their wishes now granted.
Like with any Marvel film, details behind the plot are being kept under the wraps. James Gunn is returning to direct, with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige as the producer. The production is expected to start in November.
As reported by Deadline, Gunn and execs began their lengthy search for the person who would be playing Warlock at the end of August, with Poulter meeting along with several other actors for the coveted part. As it is common with any major Marvel property, execs and Gunn took their time with the role given how excited fans were when it was first teased. In the end, Poulter’s test was too good to pass up.
Will Poulter has been busy on the TV front. Most recently he appeared in the acclaimed Amazon miniseries The Underground Railroad with his credits including The Revenant and Detroit. He can also be seen next in Hulu’s limited series Dopesick.
