Will Poulter is mother’s goodest boy in exclusive Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 deleted scene
Adam Warlock (Will Poulter) promises his mother (Elizabeth Debicki) extreme violence in new Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 clip
Film News Guardians of the Galaxy
More Will Poulter? Yes please! A new deleted scene from Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3, shared exclusively with The A.V. Club, shows his character bound and determined to be his mother’s (Elizabeth Debicki) goodest boy—or rather, man. The scene is one of the bonus features (remember them?) you can enjoy when the Blu-Ray comes out on August 1; the film is available digitally July 7.
In the clip, Ayesha (Debicki) attributes all their problems with the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji) to the Guardians. Adam, who essentially just emerged from the womb/cocoon, is fully prepared to protect his mother by means of extreme violence. “I will stomp on their skulls,” he promises. “I’m going to mush their brains between my fingers. I’m going to piss on their dead bodies and make love to their carcasses!”
Will Poulter is one of the summer’s breakout stars. After earning laughs as Adam Warlock in Guardians earlier this year, he won hearts with a more serious guest role on The Bear. The Copenhagen-set episode featured Poulter as a tough but fair instructor for Marcus (Lionel Boyce). Poulter apparently “begged” to be part of the Hulu series and did months of training for his single-episode stint, per The Daily Beast. (One imagines the discipline it takes to get Marvel fit probably helped in that regard.) Elizabeth Debicki also enjoyed a breakout television moment in her Golden Globe-nominated performance as Princess Diana on The Crown.
The conclusion of the Guardians Of The Galaxy trilogy marked director James Gunn’s exit from the Marvel Cinematic Universe as he picks up the reins over at DC. Similarly, the film closed the chapter on several of the Guardians’ stories, as—spoiler alert!—the first iteration of the team goes their separate ways. It seems likely we could see Adam Warlock again, as he goes from one of the team’s antagonists to being part of the group under Rocket’s (Bradley Cooper) leadership. And despite being cagey about returning to the MCU, Chris Pratt is also slated to return as Star-Lord, as promised by the movie’s post-credits sequence.

You forgot the mention the biggest glow-up in recent history between We are the Millers and his gloriously tattooed chef in The Bear.
Adam and Mom were totally superfluous in the movie, but anything that gives me more golden Elizabeth Debicki is ok in my book.
Yup. While I didn’t dislike it, their entire subplot probably should have been cut.
James has pretty much admitted that he felt pressured to put Adam Warlock in Vol. 3 because he teased it at the end of Vol. 2 and that he was indeed awkward to fit in.
I buy that. I know the film went through…dramatic pre-production we’ll call it, and Warlock is just the biggest piece that feels “left over” from earlier versions of the script.
Pretty sure Debicki’s past having breakout moments. Her doing The Crown was a good get for them, not the other way around.
Gizmodo, your player sucks. It doesn’t play anything for me.
It’s because of adblocking, the player mostly won’t work for those of us who use uBlock Origin or similar.
Nice to see a King Crimson reference in a big summer blockbuster, anyway…
not convinced that Pratt is returning. The way it’s written, it could be a “Dread Pirate Roberts” thing where Rocket has assumed the mantle of Starlord
I very much hope you’re right because Quill is nearly as insufferable as Pratt.
He’s said in interviews he’d be open to returning, but it’s on a movie-by-movie basis. They’ll bring him back if they think they can use him in some interesting way (I heard the character shows up in some X-Men stories).
Is that weird-ass player supposed to do something?
It can go back to the 50’s.
Yeah, it shows you 24 slides in one second so be careful what you ask for.
If she’s Princess Diana, that means Adam Warlock is Prince Harry. So where’s the evil Duchess of Sussex?
