Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 director James Gunn described how Adam Warlock functions as a “traditional supehero.” He sat down with EW to talk about everything with Marvel’s rag-tag team. When the topic turned to Will Poulter’s golden character, he said that he’s more of a classically styled her than the chaotic guardians. However, Gunn did says that, “her might be pushing it.” All of those wild cosmic powers make him more than a match for the Guardians, but the true purpose for his inclusion goes beyond just having him show up to battle the cast. The filmmaker says that his interaction with Star-Lord and crew are “an interesting juxtaposition with where we’ve been so far.” Keep in mind, the Guardians of the Galaxy are coming off battling with a “traditional hero” in Thor: Love and Thunder, so they’ve seen this routine a bunch of times now. However, with a character so beloved by cosmic Marvel fans, it just seems like there’s more for Poulter to do after this adventure ends.
