In one of the many post-credits scenes of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, we got a tease for the introduction of Adam Warlock thanks to Elizabeth Debicki’s Ayesha, whom we saw unveiling a cocoon housing a creation whcih she described as “more powerful, more beautiful and more capable of destroying the Guardians of the Galaxy. I think I shall call him … Adam.”
Well, thanks to concept artist Ian Joyner, we now have a detailed look at Adam Warlock’s cocoon with the following production artwork…
“I did a lot of passes on the Cocoon for the end tag of Guardians, which was a lot of fun as I always loved when they showed up in the cosmic books from Marvel,” said Joyner. “The final look shown here had lot of golden hues/tech that tied into the sovereigns world and really looked awesome on screen. Luma did the final pass on this, taking this design/3D asset and bringing it to the next level with details and surfacing. I can not wait to see who or what might come out of this thing in the future!”
Marvel’s Kevin Feige has already confirmed that Adam Warlock won’t feature in Avengers: Infinity War, so expect him to make his debut in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
Set to the backdrop of ‘Awesome Mixtape #2,’ Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team’s adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mysteries of Peter Quill’s true parentage. Old foes become new allies and fan-favorite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes’ aid as the Marvel cinematic universe continues to expand.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is out now and sees director James Gunn reuniting with returning cast members Chris Pratt (Star-Lord), Zoe Saldana (Gamora), Dave Bautista (Drax), Bradley Cooper (Rocket), Vin Diesel (Groot), Karen Gillan (Nebula), Michael Rooker (Yondu), Glenn Close (Nova Prime), Sean Gunn (Kraglin) and Laura Haddock (Meredith Quill) alongside new additions Pom Klementieff (Oldboy) as Mantis, Elizabeth Debicki (The Man from U.N.C.L.E.) as Ayesha, Kurt Russell (The Hateful Eight) as Ego the Living Planet, Chris Sullivan (The Drop) as Taserface, Tommy Flanagan (Sons of Anarchy) as Tullk and Sylvester Stallone (Creed) as Stakar.
