In case you missed it, James Gunn has confirmed that Will Poulter is joining the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 as Adam Warlock. It's awesome news and the Maze Runner star has broken his silence to express his gratitude towards the filmmaker and express his excitement about joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
There have been several reports suggesting that Poulter is being considered for the role of Adam Warlock in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in the past week. Now, Gunn has spoken up about the speculations and amazingly, he confirmed that the Black Mirror: Bandersnatch will appear in the MCU sequel.
Several fans commented on Gunn's tweet and even Poulter reacted to the post.
"Thank you, James. It's a genuine honour to play this role and to work with you. I'm very excited to get to work," Poulter wrote.
This pretty much confirms everything and people were excited to see Poulter's tweet. Not surprisingly, even his Maze Runner: The Death Cure co-star Nathalie Emmanuel was hyped up for the casting.
The casting of Adam Warlock is something that people have been wondering about since seeing the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 post-credits scene. Although fans were expecting other actors like Zac Efron or Bridgerton star Rege-Jean Page to take over the role, Marvel clearly had other plans for the character.
For now, it is unclear when Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will begin production. However, there is a huge chance that Gunn will immediately start work on the MCU sequel and that means filming could begin as early as late 2021 or the first half of 2022. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will bring back Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Bradley Cooper, and Vin Diesel. The sequel is already scheduled for release on May 5, 2023.
