MCU Phase 4: 10 Comic Book Panels That Must Be Recreated
7. Adam Warlock Teams Up With The Guardians
Marvel Comics
The big tease at the end of Guardians 2 may not have seemed like a massive deal to casual moviegoers, but it most definitely was for fans of Marvel's premier sci-fi series.
Ayesha, the leader of the Sovereign, is revealed to have created Adam during the film's mid-credit sequence in an attempt to track down and destroy the Guardians of the Galaxy. Obviously we know that he'll switch sides at some point, with the character being one of Marvel's premier cosmic heroes and all, but how he switches will be the main topic of conversation leading up to the threequel's release.

Guardians 3 looks set to be the film that ushers in the new era of the MCU, and with the Guardians almost certainly looking to expand their ranks, old Adam himself would be a fine shout for membership.
Give audiences a shot of him suited and booted alongside his fellow Guardians, and you have the perfect way of marking Marvel's first foray into a new decade of cinematic ventures.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
