Guardians of the Galaxy Star Weighs in on Returning for Avengers (Even Without James Gunn)


James Gunn’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3″ served as both a literal and symbolic farewell to the cherished group of Marvel Cinematic Universe heroes, since it was Gunn’s last project with Marvel and marked the conclusion for many characters in the series. Although Gunn may not be back, Will Poulter, who plays Adam Warlock, expressed his readiness to rejoin the franchise if Marvel calls him up, either for “Avengers: Doomsday” or “Avengers: Secret Wars”. While fans eagerly anticipate whether Poulter will resume his cosmic character, they can catch him in “Death of a Unicorn”, set to release on March 28th.

If ComicBook inquired about the possibility of a Marvel comeback for him, Poulter expressed enthusiasm, saying, “Absolutely! It was a blast portraying my character. So, if they reach out, count me in.

The character of Poulter’s Warlock has followed a unique path within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), since his importance in the comic book world of Marvel is significantly distinct from his portrayal in live-action productions by Marvel Studios.

As a passionate movie-goer, I eagerly anticipated the arrival of the enigmatic character known as Warlock in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). A tantalizing hint of his presence was dropped in the post-credits scene of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in 2017, sparking excitement among fans who were well-versed in his significant role in the comic book miniseries, The Infinity Gauntlet.

In this epic tale, Warlock even managed to wield the coveted Infinity Gauntlet, making him a pivotal figure in the Infinity War and Infinity Crusade comic series that followed. It was only natural for fans to expect a substantial role for Warlock in the much-anticipated Avengers: Infinity War. However, the film deviated quite dramatically from its source material, leaving many fans slightly disappointed.

Although fans look forward to Warlock having a larger on-screen role in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, his character is rich with narrative possibilities, making James Gunn’s decision to have Poulter reprise the part, even for a project unrelated to him, keeps open the opportunity to delve deeper into this character’s potential.

As fans wait for updates on Poulter’s potential MCU return, they can check out Death of a Unicorn.

As a captivated admirer, I’d put it this way: “On our journey to a weekend getaway, my daughter and I tragically strike and lose a mythical unicorn. Our wealthy boss is intrigued by its extraordinary healing powers, intending to exploit them.

The film “Death of a Unicorn” was crafted both on screen and off by Alex Scharfman, with Teá Leoni and Richard E. Grant gracing the cast.

Keep an eye out for news regarding Poulter possibly rejoining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Meanwhile, don’t miss “The Death of a Unicorn” in cinemas starting March 28th.
