The long-awaited appearance of Adam Warlock in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, alongside his creator Ayesha, played by Elizabeth Debicki, was a moment that fans eagerly anticipated.

His co-stars praised his performance, leaving many speculating about where the character could go next in the MCU. Will Poulter, who played Adam Warlock, expressed his hopes for the character in a recent interview with British GQ, stating that he'd love to see Adam Warlock crossover to other franchises such as Black Panther or the Avengers.

"If I could be part of another big franchise, I feel really lucky to have joined the MCU, especially aboard the weird and wacky 'Guardians' train. Maybe I'd say, like, 'Black Panther' or the 'Avengers 'or something like that."

Poulter also shared his excitement for exploring the character's evolution but noted that he doesn't know what's in store for Adam Warlock's future. He hoped to do justice to James Gunn's vision for the character and expressed his gratitude for being part of the Guardians franchise.

"I don't know where he's headed. And if I did, I would tell you, honestly, but I don't. I'm very honored that he's a beloved character, and that fans have been excited to see him. I've just been wanting to try to do justice to what James wrote. I am excited to try and hopefully take him on and explore his evolution, but I don't know exactly how that will look."
