Die-hard Marvel Comics fans definitely caught the Adam Warlock easter egg in the first Guardians of The Galaxy film. And many of us speculated as to what that could have led too.
Well, it seems like there is a plan there after all. In speaking to SlashFilm.com the film’s very vocal director, James Gunn, had this to say:
I love Adam Warlock. He’s one of my favorite characters. In all truth, I wrote an early treatment where I had Adam Warlock as a part…this is your big scoop, because I don’t think I’ve told anybody this… It was Adam Warlock. He was a big part of the screenplay and I realized it was one character too many. And I adored the character. I adored what we had done with him. I think we did something really creative and unique with Adam Warlock. But it was one character too many and I didn’t want to lose Mantis and Mantis was more organically part of the movie anyway. So I decided to save him for later
Now take into consideration what Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige had to say:
HE’S NOT IN INFINITY WAR. BUT HE WILL BE A PART OF THE FUTURE MARVEL COSMIC UNIVERSE AND A PRETTY IMPORTANT PART OF THAT
And, as already revealed, since Gunn has signed on for a third Guardians film it is not a stretch to conclude that is where will eventually see the character.
