The Marvel Studios is allegedly behind an actor to play the role of the cosmic hero Adam Warlock in the next film of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
According to The Illuminerdi website, their sources gathered information asserting that the studio is looking to cast “a thirty-year-old Caucasian man, who is described as both a ‘superhero type’ and a ‘Zack Efron type’.”
The description draws attention specifically to Zac Efron as the criterion, after all, the star known for High School Musical is one of the actors highest rated by fans to put on the Warlock mantle in the franchise.
The character, who was almost in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 but was cut in the end, is the result of a scientific experiment aimed at creating the perfect entity in the comics.
The post-credit scene in the second Guardians of the Galaxy movie, released in 2017, left room for the arrival of Adam Warlock, when the Golden High Priestess, Ayesha, announced that she was creating the next step in our evolution, the most powerful, the most beautiful and capable of destroying the Guardians of the Galaxy. At the end of the scene, she calls him creation Adam.
The long-awaited upcoming Guardians film is scheduled to start shooting later this year, some of the main characters from the Marvel cosmic franchise will be featured in the film Thor: Love and Thunder in 2022.
For now, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has no official release date.
