Guardians of the Galaxy: Chris Pratt Talks About Marvel Legends Adam Warlock
In a recent interview, the Guardians of the Galaxy star talks about Marvel Legends Adam Warlock.
A few months before we finally say goodbye to the Guardians of the Galaxy family that we know, Chris Pratt speaks candidly about the new addition to their family. In the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Marvel Legends Adam Warlock will finally make his MCU debut. The character has been previously teased since Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in 2017.
Talking with Fandango, Chris Pratt was all praises about the Maze Runner star, calling him an “awesome Adam Warlock.” He also mentioned the dedication Poulter has to become the character.
“That guy has got such charisma. I’m so proud of him. He did a great job. He’s an awesome Adam Warlock. He looks incredible. He, as an actor, Will, completely so dedicated, worked his ass off. He reminded me sort of like when I got cast as Star-Lord. This sort of transformation that was expected, the discipline around it, the eagerness to do it, and his willingness to go… And look at him. He just did such a great job.”
Previously, Will Poulter has opened up about the struggles he had to face in preparation for the role. He underwent an intense workout regime to buff up for the role to perfectly encapsulate the “perfect man,” aka Marvel Legends Adam Warlock.
Chris Pratt continued by saying that he considers himself “a big brother” to the Marvel newcomer. He says fans would “love his character” as Will Poulter is a “natural” for his role.
“I feel like a big brother or something. I’m so proud of my little brother, watching him… I’m just watching him on set and I’m like, ‘Dude, I know what you’re going through and you’re killing it.’ And then the part of me in the back of my mind is like, ‘This is going to be so great for the movie.’ So he’s just so good. He’s so good. He’s so funny, so natural, and he’s a physical specimen. So he’s, yeah, we’re so good. People are going to love his character.”
