Guardians 3: 10 Actors Who Could Play Adam Warlock
7. Mahershala Ali
From his rather brief role in Luke Cage to his most recent appearance in Green Book, Ali is clearly one of the best actors in Hollywood today.
Though in the case of playing Warlock, Ali's acting chops are probably not the thing in question, but rather whether the actor would fit from a visual perspective.
The actor would easily be able to portray either direction Gunn would want to take the character in - whether that be a more comedic Warlock or a regal one, though Ali's figure doesn't exactly scream the physicality of a superhero.
But, with still at least a year to go before the movie starts shooting, he'd have more than enough time to bulk up beforehand.
And, in regards to how this would be the actor's second MCU role, Marvel doesn't seem to have much of a problem casting the same actor twice, so that shouldn't really be a worry.
