Guardians 3: 10 Actors Who Could Play Adam Warlock
3. Will Yun Lee
Across his filmography, Lee has usually been forced out of the leading role and put instead into more supporting ones. Whenever he appears on-screen, his presence is usually the thing that everyone is focused on, so making him such a key part of the Marvel universe would do justice to an often undervalued performer.
Lee is usually used to portray the antihero in the various action films he's appeared, an archetype that doesn't fit the traditional idea of the character of Adam Warlock.
Though, with The Sovereign having created Warlock simply for the purpose of killing the Guardians of the Galaxy, perhaps making the character into something closer to an antihero wouldn't actually be too far fetched.
The likes of Yondu were changed vastly from their comic book counterparts for the sake of making a more enjoyable movie - so if Gunn were to alter this character's personality in order so that a Lee-played version would work, it would certainly make for a better film.
