What's Next For Adam Warlock After Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3?
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 features the on-screen debut of Will Poulter as Adam Warlock after the character has been teased in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
He's one of the characters that is highly anticipated in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 but his screen time speaks volumes that there are more things waiting for him in the future.
In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Adam Warlock acts like a child, as if he's been born yesterday, and he only does what Ayesha wants, although not that precise.
Being on the other side, the Guardians still gave him and his pet, Blurp, mercy, and as Drax said, everyone deserves a second chance.
That being said, Adam proved that he could be worthy of the chance given to him by the Guardians that he saved Star-Lord from dying.
In the post-credits scene of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Adam Warlock is seen as a full-fledged member of the new Guardians under the tutelage of Rocket with the support of Groot.

In an interview with ScreenRant, Will Poulter addressed what is in store for the future of Adam Warlock in the MCU, "I don't know where he's headed. And if I did, I would tell you, honestly. But I don't."
Poulter added, "I'm very honored that he's a beloved character, and that fans have been excited to see him. I've just been wanting to try and do justice to what James wrote."
Poulter further explained, "I'm excited to try and hopefully take him on and explore his evolution, but I don't know exactly how that will look."
In the comics, Adam Warlock has been closely tied to the Infinity Saga but now that such is over in the MCU, the franchise could delve into a different comic book arc for the character.
Considering that Adam Warlock is still young, he has so much to learn including his control over his powers and his moral compass could be swayed into a good direction now that he is with the Guardians.
It should be noted, too, that Adam Warlock is one of the strongest beings in the lore, and his character is not to be wasted because he could be one of the key against the threat of Kang in the Multiverse Saga.
