Yep. That's Will Poulter alright. I think the lighting kind of doesn't help point out the fact his skin is supposed to look like he's made of gold.
Seems like he made the right decision in leaving the role of Elrond in Amazon's Rings of Power.
Good on him.
Good on him.
Cannot tell if Gold in that pic.
Maybe don't have your all Gold character in a pic where everything is gold/yellow.

Not sure what I expected but it looks like he got the Marvel workout in.
I never understood this character's popularity - anyone want to explain it?
(I mean the Marvel character)
How so? I mean I read some comics and he never stood out to me as being particularly memorable.

I wish Marvel's costuming would inject more variety into all their body armor. It all kind of looks the same.
Excited to see him in the role. Such an unexpected casting choice.

I mean techically Adam Warlock is like 10 years old chronically
Yes, in comics a bunch of mad scientists get together and try to build the ultimate human. When he comes out the test tube he says "Y'all crazy". Then flies away to space adventures. They try again with a sister and little brother
I was gonna comment on how awful costume design tends to be on these things, but these poor people really don't have anything to work with.
That's certainly a take on Adam Warlock.
HE seems to have bulked up for the role...hopefully he can deliver as Adam.

You ain't getting a Marvel role without a little chicken and broccoli now, are ya.
He looks good.
Yeah, I remember. But his original design gives 40 year old man vibes.
He was miscast, should have been ManslaughterHE seems to have bulked up for the role...hopefully he can deliver as Adam.
He is one of my favorite characters, if nothing else read Starlin's Warlock run from the 70's, 80's though you need a reading guide since due to cancelled books/fill ins/other roadblocks a lot of it was told in whatever book Starlin was writing at the time. But most of that stuff, but especially Adam, Thanos, and Gamora fighting the Magus and Church of Universal Truth is excellent, and a lot of the MCU as it is wouldn't exist without Jim's work.
As for Adam himself the most important thing to know is he is the opposite of Thanos and it makes them working together even crazier and memorable since they are natural enemies and exist literally to be each other's opposite and enemy since Adam is Life's chosen Avatar and champion the same as Thanos is Death's Avatar and Champion. Which as an aside is why I always get pissed about people minimizing it to "Thanos has a crush on death" which while he does (or more appropriately did) have romantic feelings for Death he is her chosen champion and avatar, and him wiping out half the galaxy was not "he wanted to impress death because he had a crush" but what she had actually gave him a mission to do in the first place and instead he fucked off and gathered the stones and made the gauntlet and when she got pissed he did the snap to accomplish that goal but it was already too late and then he claimed he did to be equal to her and worthy of the love between them which just pissed her off more making a bigger rift between them and killing any feelings she had for him.
Also don't know how they are going to explain the gem on his forehead due to the stones being destroyed but if you look closely in the picture he does have a gem on his forehead.

Most people only know him after his wacky space adventures. His first out the cocoon appearances were more youthful
Marvel? Awful costumes? Fucking what? The costumes are one of the more universally praised elements of the MCU.
Idk about the soul stone but there's definitely some sort of stone on his forehead.
Aside from what's been mentioned in the thread, part of his popularity is due to the fact that he was a big part of the Infinity Gauntlet crossover/storyline that hit around when comic buying was at its peak in the 90s, so he's in that nostalgia sweet spot for a lot of people.
Ah ok that's fair. The Ben Reilly type :)
I missed the boat back then on Guardians.
GOT DAMN, dude looks buff. Low key, wish I could quit my job and work on my body like that. Seems like he got swole QUICK!
