Guardians of the Galaxy 3 Trailer Reveals First Look At Adam Warlock

The first Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 trailer is full of James Gunn's visionary style, and some even deeper Marvel cuts than we ever expected would be brought to the MCU.

Following the success of The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, Disney and Marvel have unveiled the first trailer for the third and final film of the trilogy.

In it, Will Poulter makes his MCU debut as the golden-haired and skinned Adam Warlock, a powerful artificial being created by the Sovereign to destroy the Guardians.

Warlock could be seen punching out blue-skinned alien warrior Nebula (Karen Gillan) as she lay on the ground in a quick scene.

It was the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji), who embedded one of the six Infinity Gems - the Soul Stone - into Adam's forehead similar to Vision.

Fans of the franchise will recall how the High Priestess Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki) announced the arrival of Adam during a post-credits scene from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

'The next step in our evolution — more powerful, more beautiful, more capable of destroying the Guardians of the Galaxy,' she said.

The 29-year-old Englishman previously gushed that he was 'very, very lucky and honored to have been welcomed into the Marvel family.'

Will told Flip Your Wig on October 19: 'Particularly in a franchise like Guardians of the Galaxy, which I regard to be incredibly creative and very, very unique. [Writer-director] James Gunn is someone I really, really admire so I feel very lucky.'

The Guardians 3 trailer also revealed the return of Zoe Saldaña as Gamora, who has no memory of the gang including boyfriend Peter 'Star Lord' Quill (Chris Pratt) following 'the snap' from Avengers: Endgame.

There's an adorable flashback to Rocket (Bradley Cooper), perhaps from when he was just a baby raccoon before Nova Corps' genetic and cybernetic experiments transformed him.

The hot-tempered mercenary and weapons expert - who has a bizarre fixation with artificial limbs - could be seen embracing an otter in one scene.

Quill - whose on another mission to save the universe - could be heard saying: 'We have been running our whole lives.'

'Pete, I'm done running,' Rocket replied.

We'll all fly away together one last time into the forever and beautiful sky.'

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will be released only in theaters on May 5 and it also features Dave Bautista, Pom Klementieff, Vin Diesel, Sylvester Stallone, Sean Gunn, and Maria Bakalova.

Disney and Marvel famously fired the 56-year-old filmmaker from Guardians 3 in July 2018 over distasteful tweets he had written about rape and pedophilia.

But after the entire cast penned a letter of support for James, Disney and Marvel rehired him just three months later.
