Adam Warlock had intimate knowledge of the Infinity Stones and led the forces of good against the Mad Titan, but was nowhere to be seen when the fight happened on the big screen. He will however be coming to the franchise in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Will Poulter will bring the mighty Adam Warlock to life, and there are two projects in which the Guardians will appear before the third movie in their trilogy.

Coming to Disney+ for the 2022 Christmas season, this could be the perfect place to introduce Adam Warlock, giving James Gunn the opportunity to really hit the ground running with the character when Vol. 3 comes around the following year.
