With The Suicide Squad behind him, James Gunn is readying his Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 which will officially close out the trilogy. Today, it's been reported that Will Poulter will take up the role of Adam Warlock in the third and final Guardians movie. The character was previously teased in Volume 2 and is now a part of the upcoming chapter. While there have been dozens of rumored casting announcements in the past, this one has been posted directly by Gunn himself to his Twitter account. At long last, fans will get their Adam Warlock. Check out the Tweet below .
Poulter has previously built a solid comedic resume but has continued to take up more dramatic roles and has dipped his toes into the horror genre. This will just add another layer to his already dynamic set of film roles.
As you guys know I often strike down false rumors, so… um…Welcome to the Guardians family, Will Poulter. He’s an amazing actor and wonderful guy. See you in a couple weeks. #AdamWarlock #GotGVol3 https://t.co/RaNeGDIC0E— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) October 11, 2021
