Will Poulter initially didn’t know he was in the running to be Adam Warlock when auditioning for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Fresh off of Warner Bros./DC Films’ The Suicide Squad and HBO Max’s Peacemaker, writer and director James Gunn is now working with Disney/Marvel Studios to complete his Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy. The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special and Vol.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’s post-credits scene saw the Sovereign High Priestess Ayesha reveal a cocoon, teasing the introduction of the cosmic hero Adam Warlock. Being that this was before Avengers: Infinity War , many viewers thought the character could play a role in the Infinity Saga as he did in the comics. However, this turned out not to be the case and Gunn’s brief firing delayed Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
"I first auditioned in June of last year [2021], and that was the first time I auditioned, and then I kind of got the role in September, I think. And then started shooting in December…I didn’t know what character, initially, I was auditioning for. I kind of knew sort of closer to the time [of casting] who I was reading for.
Marvel Studios is notoriously very careful about not revealing major details about their projects, often telling actors half-truths during the audition process so that nothing leaks. This has been the case for projects like Spider-Man: No Way Home, Moon Knight, and, more recently, Xochitl Gomez's experience auditioning to play America Chavez in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Aside from detailing his strict diet and workout regime, Poulter has been very careful not to reveal much about Adam Warlock’s role in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. It’s still unclear whether the cosmic-powered character will serve as a friend or foe to Star-Lord and company. However, Gunn has had nothing but good things to say about Poulter’s performance, which is sure to set Adam Warlock up for future MCU projects.
