Guardians of the Galaxy Adam Warlock

[Joe Rockhead]

I would suggest just omitting Warlock and Kismet completely. Vision is already an established character in the franchise, and there is a looming lack of purpose to include Warlock alongside him.

Yes, as much as I would like to see him in the MCU, there's not much of a chance that they'd feature two characters with such similar, unique origins.

If they were to introduce an Adam Warlock character at this point, he wouldn't likely have the same origin as in the comics. It doesn't mean he couldn't be introduced as the opposite entity to Thanos, but he certainly wouldn't be the 'clean slate character with an infinity stone in his forehead' - that role has been filled.

I think Russell is playing Warlock/Magus. The villains in the film will be Her and Him (in his Magus form) and the climax will likely reveal the revelation that "Him" is actually Star Lord's father (Star Wars moment) and Quill will use the Soul Stone to rip the darkness (Magus) from him, turning him back into Warlock. Warlock will then work with his son and the Guardians to take down "his sister" Her.

I think there is a decent chance that this happens.

I'm pretty sure James Gunn has already confirmed that there is no infinity stone featured in Guardians 2. I think the time stone and soul stone will likely show up in Doctor Strange and Thor: Ragnarok respectively.

 

[Inhuman117]

Thanos Don't show up tooo right ?

 

[AvengerPA]

It will be Her/Kismet/Ayesha who comes out of the cocoon that we saw at the Collector's place.

 

[Wildcard]

Cillian Murphy please!

He's not necessarily opposed to blockbuster film franchises (The Dark Knight, Tron: Legacy). And he could definitely hold his own as the lead villain. At least as well as Ronan. But how many films would he be willing to sign on for? Hmm...

Words cannot capture how much I love this casting suggestion.

I think he'll only be mentioned.

James Gunn has made it clear it wants to keep the main Marvel story out of this movie

 

[Rowsdower!]

It's sort of funny how Thanos is this big bad and yet it seems like every Marvel director doesn't want anything to do with him. Thank God for the Russos I guess.

 

[Mike Murdock]

He's the big bad for Infinity War. People don't want him for other movies where they'd be somewhat limited in what they could do.

Yeah man. I truly truly hope so.

Plus I sorta see the resemblance. It's in the eyes...

I know, but all of this is building towards that. Yet he's barely had an involvement in these movies so far, even with the Infinity Stones present.

 

[Mike Murdock]

Well, this is the wrong movie to bring that up since they've said they don't want Infinity Stones to be in this one.

 

[Chris B]

The fact that Ayesha is being included here makes me really curious as what implications that has on Adam Warlock being introduced down the line. I still think that was the role they tried to get McConaughey for.

 

[bubbadoom]

I hope Marvel does a better job of matching Kirby's design than they did in ThorW

 

[Batmannerism]

Gotta say, as a fan of Starlin's 70's Warlock, that he really deserves his own series. I think a lot would be lost jamming him into an already very full looking Infinity War movie, without much of a backstory - because his backstory is so compelling (especially when you throw in the Magus - I mean, that's gold, a hero whose arch-nemesis is his future self. Those old stories were great !).

While Warlock is an important part of the whole Thanos/Infinity gem story I would rather it was done right.

Hell, Warlock could be a character for future MCU films, after Infinity war - those gems have to go somewhere.

 

[Lilbaz]

So ayesha will be the ruler of a race of self genetically modified beings.
Leaves the door open for warlock to be part of that race. Maybe even her ex?

 

[legendkillin]

If we get Warlock I want it to actually be Warlock, not someone just take his part from the comics. Vision has the stone like Warlock so some think he will play that role. With Pip the Troll likely being in the movie it just makes sense to actually have Warlock/Magus.

Can't see why they'd omit warlock and yes vision has some similarities but they are different characters. Warlock is arrogant, a general and literally is his own worst enemy. He is not really a good guy.
If true that vision gets destroyed how can he possibly take warlocks place? Although i don't actually think he'll be "dead" long and we'll see a resurected white vision without the mind gem.

Anyway hope we do see warlock. Adds another galactic being to the roster.

They'd omit Adam Warlock because with Vision he'd be redundant. Yes, yes, they aren't identical. . . but they are both artificial beings who are broad Jesus analogs, who were an Infinity Stone on their forehead. It'd be like including War Machine, as a completely independent character who has nothing to do with Iron Man, he just coincidentally wears an extremely similar suit of armor.

He would be from ayeshas race and might not have the soul gem. The magus is a fantastic storyline unique in the mcu and is nothing like visions. Really can't see why they can't have both.

 

[Mike Murdock]

I know people are saying Adam Warlock is redundant with Vision, but he's also arguably redundant with Ayesha. Especially since they seem to be going for a Universal Church of Truth thing in this movie (although I'm not sure if they're calling it that).

The Ultron and Vision story sort of had a small sprinkle of Magus/Warlock. I do think they can still do a Magus/Warlock and have depth in it.

That would be more reason to *not* use him. If his evil counterpart isn't going to be the head of the UCT, that's another thing making him pointless.

Spoiler

After his synthezoid body is trashed

I think there's a real possibility of Vision merging his consciousness with the soul gem and becoming the MCU Adam Warlock.
