Adam Warlock is sure to make waves in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with his comicbook counterpart being incredibly powerful. Warlock has energy-based powers and typically works with teams like the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Fantastic Four to battle cosmic-level threats, and has his own dark side in the form of a villain named Magus.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will arrive six years after Vol. 2, on 5 May, 2023. For comparison, we’ll have gotten an entire Spider-Man trilogy by the time this sequel hits theaters!
