In the comics, Adam Warlock is an artificial, perfect human created by a group of scientists. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as revealed in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, he was created by the Sovereign, the golden-skinned alien race.
Production is slated to start in November, and it is exciting to see what Poulter will bring to the table of drama, comedy, and hijinks the franchise is already brimming with.
