UK actor Will Poulter has made his Marvel debut in the latest Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, where he plays the long-teased character, Adam Warlock​¹​​²​​³​​⁴​. This film, directed by James Gunn, marks the end of the trilogy and serves as an emotional closure for the team of planet-hopping space heroes. The film is said to follow themes of found family and celebrates characters’ diversity​⁵​​⁶​.

Poulter’s process of getting into character was no small feat. His hair, makeup, and body paint took two hours to apply each day, and he needed assistance to get into his suit. The audition process for his role started in June and ended in September 2021, and it wasn’t until later in the process that he realized the character he was auditioning for​⁷​​⁸​.

In the film, Poulter stars alongside notable actors such as Chris Pratt, Bradley Cooper, and Elizabeth Debicki, among others. His character, Adam Warlock, is an anti-hero and part-villain who crosses paths with the Guardians in the storyline, offering a new dimension to the narrative​⁹​​¹⁰​​¹¹​.

Poulter, who is known for his roles in The Maze Runner, Midsommar, and the TV drama Dopesick, expressed his hope to continue Adam Warlock’s evolution and maintain a strong commitment to the source material​¹²​​¹³​.
