Legend in the Making

Sometimes the most unexpected casting choices for comic book movies are the most GOATED, so don’t hate on Will Poulter for playing Adam Warlock. He’s a great actor and I always want great actors for these roles. The most recent example being Robert Pattinson as THE BATMAN pic.twitter.com/ltvp9xhIRL

Going Against Type

I'm actually kinda glad they didn't cast a Zac Efron and went against type. Will Poulter seems like a dedicated actor and he'll probably do a great job as Adam Warlock. pic.twitter.com/kYrPcLNFaV
