During a recent Facebook live Q & A session, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 director James Gunn confirmed that Adam Warlock will not be appearing in the highly anticipated Avengers: Infinity War.
“Adam Warlock will not be in Infinity War … he will have a future in the MCU. But will it be in Infinity War? It will not.”
This comes as no surprise to me. Assuming you have seen GotG Vol. 2, you’re aware that they are setting up Warlock to be a major player in the MCU’s future. However, it’s obviously too early for that, as we still have the Thanos storyline to settle.
“Set to the backdrop of ‘Awesome Mixtape #2,’ Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team’s adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mysteries of Peter Quill’s true parentage. Old foes become new allies and fan-favorite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes’ aid as the Marvel cinematic universe continues to expand.”
GotG Vol. 2 stars Chris Pratt as Star-Lord/Peter Quill, Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Bradley Cooper as the voice of Rocket Raccoon, Vin Diesel as the voice of Groot, Michael Rooker as Yondu, Kurt Russel as Ego The Living Planet, Karen Gillian as Nebula, Dave Bautista as Drax, Pom Klementieff as Mantis, Sean Gunn as Kraglin, and Sylvester Stallone in a currently unknown role. The film is directed by James Gunn.
The movie is in theaters now!
