9) Adam Warlock
We know this cosmic being, created by Ayesha to destroy the Guardians of the Galaxy, is one of director James Gunn’s favorite characters. What we don’t know what the future holds for Adam Warlock (Will Poulter) after GotG ends. He’s a strange character in the comics, both immensely powerful and somewhat obscure; his biggest claim to fame is always getting dragged into whatever new Infinity Gem shenanigans Thanos has going on. But since both Thanos and the are gems gone from the MCU, what’s this Adam Warlock going to do with his time once he inevitably makes peace with the Guardians to stop the High Evolutionary? One option would be to join the Guardians himself as he has in the comics, but that would require a James Gunn-less sequel, and that’s not happening—which means future Guardians movies might not be happening either.
