Poulter will be known for his successful career since childhood. The actor started off in E4’s School of Comedy, then going on to feature in projects like We’re The Millers, The Maze Runner and anthology series Black Mirror.

Adam Warlock is seen as one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel catalogue. With a long list of powers in his arsenal, he is usually introduced as a villain but then eventually is seen aligning with various members of The Avengers.

The inclusion of Warlock has been teased since Vol. 2‘s post credit scene. The scene featured Ayesha, played by Tenet‘s Elizabeth Debicki, telling her chambermaid that she had created the perfect Sovereign to destroy The Guardians once and for all. Since then, fans have waited for the character to pop up and cause some damage Quill and his crew.

It is expected that Warlock will be facing off with The Guardians when we first meet him, so how much damage do we expect him to cause? Well, with it rumoured that some of our main cast will be viewing Vol. 3 as their final appearance, there is potential for the character to change the game quite a bit.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is due to hit cinemas May 5, 2023.
