NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 245: "Rose: Revisited" Is Up!

 

"Who are you, then? Who's that lot down there? I said, who are they?!"
"They're made of plastic. Living plastic creatures. They're being controlled by a relay device on the roof. Which would be a great big problem if...I didn't have this. So, I'm gonna go upstairs and blow it up. And I might well die in the process. But don't worry about me, no, you go home, go on! Go and have your lovely beans on toast. Don't tell anyone about this, 'cos if you do, you'll get them killed. I'm the Doctor, by the way. What's your name?"
"Rose."
"Nice to meet you, Rose. Run for your life!"
-- Rose Tyler and the Ninth Doctor, Doctor Who: "Rose"

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 Casts Will Poulter as Adam Warlock

 
And men shall call him...Warlock!

Deadline reports that the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has cast Will Poulter as Marvel Comics' cosmic messiah Adam Warlock. 

Returning director James Gunn confirmed the reporting on Twitter, stating "As you guys know I often strike down false rumors, so...um...Welcome to the Guardians family, Will Poulter. He's an amazing actor and wonderful guy. See you in a couple weeks. #AdamWarlock #GotGVol3."

Adam Warlock was first teased in a post-credit scene at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, when Ayesha, played by Elizabeth Debicki, reveals to her chambermaid the perfect Sovereign she created to help destroy the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Poulter, 28, is an English actor best known as Eustace Scrubb in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and Gally in The Maze Runner and Maze Runner: The Death Cure. His other films include We're the Millers, The Revenant, Detroit, and Midsommar. His TV appearances include Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, The Fades, and the upcoming miniseries Dopesick.

Initially created as the character Him by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1967's Fantastic Four (vol.1) #66, Adam Warlock was revamped by Roy Thomas and Gil Kane, first appearing in 1972's Marvel Premiere #1. Scientists on Earth calling themselves the Enclave created an artificial, perfect human who initially called himself "Him". After rebelling against his creators, and having a conflict with Thor, Him decided to leave Earth and traveled into space. He encountered the High Evolutionary, who gave him the name "Warlock". The High Evolutionary requested Warlock's help in saving the artificially created planet Counter-Earth from the evil Man-Beast and gave Warlock the green Soul Gem (also referred to as the "Soul Jewel"), which allowed Warlock to capture souls of other beings. When he arrived on Counter-Earth, Warlock was given the name "Adam" by four teenagers who befriend him. After the Man-Beast's defeat, Warlock left Counter-Earth to find a new purpose.

In his travels through space, Warlock encountered the Universal Church of Truth, an intergalactic religious organization led by the corrupt Magus. Warlock became allies with Pip the Troll, the assassin Gamora, and Thanos of Titan to oppose the Magus. Eventually, Warlock discovered that the Magus is a future version of himself who traveled back in time after being driven insane by the Soul Gem's use. Warlock chose to alter his timeline by visiting himself a few months into the future and stealing his own soul to prevent the Magus from ever existing. Warlock then continued his journeys, knowing he has seen his own death but not knowing exactly when it will happen.

When the Stranger attempted to steal Warlock's Soul Gem, Warlock learned about five other related gems. Thanos gained possession of these gems with the intention of destroying Earth's sun. When Thanos caused mortal harm to Pip and Gamora, Warlock took their souls to end their suffering. Warlock then enlisted the aid of the Avengers, Captain Marvel and Moondragon to stop Thanos. During the battle, Warlock's younger self appeared and took the older Warlock's soul. Inside the gem, Adam was reunited with Pip, Gamora and others in a utopia known as Soul World. Warlock's soul was temporarily freed from the Soul Gem, allowing him to turn Thanos to stone and save Earth.

After being resurrected, Thanos once again collected the Infinity Gems, placing them in the Infinity Gauntlet, capturing the Silver Surfer and Drax the Destroyer in the Soul Gem for opposing him. In the Soul Gem's world, the Silver Surfer met Adam Warlock and convinced him that his help was needed again to defeat Thanos. Warlock agreed, with Pip and Gamora deciding to accompany him. Warlock sent himself and his two friends into new bodies and led a group of Earth's superheroes, defeating Thanos.

Warlock obtained the Infinity Gauntlet, becoming a near-supreme being of the universe. The cosmic Living Tribunal, whose power and authority exceeded Warlock's, decided that Warlock could not be trusted to keep the Infinity Gauntlet and instructed him to divide the gems among other beings of Warlock's choosing. Warlock kept the Soul Gem for himself and gave one gem each to Pip, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Moondragon, and the reformed Thanos. Warlock named the group the Infinity Watch.

Poulter will be the first actor to portray Adam Warlock in live-action, although the character has appeared in various animated projects, including Silver Surfer (voiced by Oliver Becker), The Super Hero Squad Show (voiced by Dave Boat), The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (voiced by Kirk Thornton), and the Guardians of the Galaxy animated series (voiced by Eric Bauza).

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is currently expected to be released on May 5, 2023.
