After Spider-Man: Far From Home ends and Phase 3 of the MCU concludes, there will be a myriad of possibilities for Marvel Studios and which stories they’ll want to tell going forward. One of the unconcluded teases of the Infinity Saga is the conception and birth of one of the most powerful characters of the Marvel Universe: Adam Warlock. At the end of Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2, we got to see Ayesha guarding an egg which she calls “Adam”. Even though director James Gunn hasn’t confirmed that this is, in fact, Adam Warlock, he did say that we wouldn’t see Adam Warlock until after Avengers: Infinity War and that he’d be part of the cosmic universe afterward. So it’s safe to assume that egg is, in fact, the powerful sorcerer.
But who would be a good candidate to play such a character in the MCU? Well, some time ago rumors of Jude Law or even Matthew McConaughey were in the mix to portray him. But this time around Zac Efron steps in front of the internet’s fan casting mill and we have this amazing image depicting him as Adam Warlock. Check it out:
Zac Efron is one of those popular Hollywood actors that would fit great into the MCU. Although Zac Efron hasn’t come out to say whether or not he would be interested in playing Adam Warlock, the internet may have made its mind up for him. Zac Efron hasn’t portrayed a superhero for either DC or for Marvel as of now but the traditional importance of Adam Warlock in the comics may make him want to consider it if he were offered the part. If James Gunn wanted to set up Adam Warlock for Phase 3 and Marvel Studios was reluctant to use him only even as a cameo for the Infinity Saga, then it must mean that they have bigger plans for the character. Alas, Zac Efron would be a perfect pick for the part.
Zac Efron is currently taking part in more mature-toned films. Zac Efron currently stars in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile in which he portrays the serial killer Ted Bundy. Zac Efron seems to want to leave behind his fame as the High School Musical star and be treated as a more serious method actor.
Would you like to see Zac Efron become Adam Warlock for Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3? Are you excited James Gunn is returning to helm Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3? Sound off in the comment section down below!
Marvel recently announced that there will be eight new films between 2020 and 2022. One of them will surely be James Gunn’s Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 but we won’t know the official date until after Spider-Man: Far From Home debuts in July and closes out Phase 3.
Stay tuned to Heroic Hollywood for more on Zac Efron, Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 and the future of the MCU as we know it.
