It’s Santa Claus, isn’t it?

If Mark Hamill ends up playing this role, that would honestly be amazing.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Santa would be amazing!

 

[psylockolussus]

It should be someone from Marvel ComiXs. Santa wouldn't eXcite me.

Technically, he is.

Santa Claus (Earth-616)

Santa Claus (Earth-616)

Well anybody but Santa Claus.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Well anybody but Santa Claus.

It's a little story that has no consequences to the bigger picture within the MCU, so having Santa in this is no big deal.

I don't mind if Mr. Santa Claus appears in a X-Mas special. I'm more referring to the tweet mentioning "one of the greatest characters to appear" in the mcu. That better be someone not random, as I'm taking that tweet seriously.

I'm not opposed to Santa Claus appearing if this has no future consequences, but do we know this will have no consequences to the bigger picture?

 

[psylockolussus]

It would likely act as a prelude to Vol. 3, unless this is just an eXtra content for D+ like What If?.

In reference to the age of Groot:

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Prime Groot hopefully.

 

[BaelaTargaryen]

 

[Venom 1988]

Seems like Lizzie Hill got this right. She reported this over the weekend on her website.

[Loden Greatstorm]

Great casting.

 

[samsnee]

That was unexpected. Still wished it was Alexander Skarsgard

 

[Dr. Evil]

He's a better option than Rege Jean Page, who's appeal I do not understand.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Wouldn't have been my first choice but the guy is a damn good actor and very good comedic chops also so definitely fits in that regard.

 

[Marvolo]

I can see Poulter playing an awkward dork or a twitchy serial killer. I cant really see him as a perfectly engineered specimen and an example of peak of human evolution, or anything close to a demigod. Having said that...

The Marvel wiki says:

Warlock was a being with no life experience due to his unique conception. He promptly encountered Thor, and attempted the abduction of the Lady Sif in order to mate with her.[19] (This act would be repeated in a more benign, but no less infuriating, fashion by his gene-sister "Her," now known as Kismet.) Thor naturally took offense to this kidnapping, and promptly beat the young Godling near to death.

I can definitely see Gunn using Warlock for comedy and him being this clueless newborn man that cross paths with the Guardians and crazy awkward **** ensues. Poulter is perfect for that kind of character.

 

[Prison Mike]

If his character is similar to what he was like in “We’re the Miller’s” then he’ll be hilarious.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

I thought Warlock was a serious dude?

 

[KaijuDude1992]

Will Poulter is a legit good actor and if you doubt his serious, dramatic acting chops just watch his performance in Detroit where he played a pretty fantastic villian.

For some reason I always imagined Dan Stevens in the Adam Warlock role, but I can see Gunn going for something else entirely which I am pefectly fine with honestly.
