Dear Gossips,
It was announced a couple of weeks ago that Will Poulter has been cast as Adam Warlock in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3. Who is Adam Warlock? Again, since I don’t speak comic book, Sarah had to tell us here that Adam Warlock is considered one of the MCU’s most powerful characters. When I googled the character, my big takeaway is that Adam Warlock serves good hair.
As Sarah noted in her post, the Will Poulter announcement took her by surprise and many others. Since the confirmation though, well, the internet did what the internet does: thirst. There’s been a lot of social media thirst over his glow-up. Will is currently starring in Dopesick on Hulu – and this is what happened in episode five that has people shook:
But they were already shook over this shot of him in Washington, DC a couple of weeks ago promoting the series:

There were a lot of great tweets in reaction to that appearance but here’s my favourite (source Page Six):

The hair is, indeed, very good. And it’s actually gotten better since he was in DC. I’ve attached new shots of Will in London yesterday and it’s longer now – and check out the wave in it!

This I understand. I say that because what I still don’t understand was the thirsting over Thanos. WTF?!
Guardians 3 is supposed to be begin production very soon with a release date of May 2023. So there’s a year and a half to go until we see Will in full Adam Warlock mode. But the minute there’s a glimpse of him in costume, there’s going to be a lot of horny coming at us… get ready.
Yours in gossip,
Lainey
