I really hope this is not the case!  Adam Warlock is basically a perpetual-30-year old, as he regenerates in his cocoon (seen briefly at the end of Thor: Dark World and for a slightly longer time in Guardians 1).

QuoteKurt Russell To Play Adam Warlock/Magus In Guardians of the Galaxy 2?

The casting of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has been underway. While curiosity is on who will play this mystery man that is Star-Lord's father, many are quick to attach Kurt Russell to the role. The two mysteries for the upcoming Marvel sequel are: who is Star-Lord's father, and will Kurt Russell be playing him?



Volume One left us with Yondu (Michael Rooker) and his crew knowing the man who gave DNA to Peter Quill. Though, director/writer James Gunn says that he won't be his father from the comics: J'Son of Spartax.

Well, we don't know who his father is yet, but we might know who Kurt Russell will be playing. An unnamed source close to the situation has brought this to our attention:
(Kurt) Russell has been tapped to play the legendary hero, Adam Warlock, and his evil twin, Magus. Marvel felt that his talent as a veteran actor would fit into the cosmic character.

Whether or not Warlock will be Star-Lord's father is still be a mystery. However, it's great to know that his presence will be available for the Infinity War against Thanos, as he was a major player of such in the comics.



Before you pass this rumor off as BS, remember that Marvel has been known to throw us some curve balls. And after all, the little information we got on Star-Lord's dad from the first installment was that he was part of a lone, unknown race.

What do you make of this? Will Kurt Russell actually be playing Adam Warlock? Further more, will Warlock be Star-Lord's dad in the MCU?

Back in the 'Escape From New York' days, I could have seen it (barely).  But now?  He's just plain too friggin' old to play Adam Warlock (though oddly I could see him as the Magus... ???).  Now if 'Escape From New York'-age Kurt Russell played Adam Warlock, and current-day Kurt Russell played the Magus, that maybe I could see.

And personally, I'd say a big "no" to Warlock being anyone's father (unless he mated with 'Her' [that was her name from the comics]).

Sounds like good casting to me. But then I'm not familiar with the comic character. If Adam Warlock is going to have a major role in taking down Thanos, I'm glad he'll be played by a badass like Russell.

I don't buy it.  Adam Warlock's deal feels too big for the movie.  I also don't think that Adam Warlock will be showing up before the Infinity War.  I could see him appearing post-Infinity War (which might have him ending up with one of the stones).

I'm starting to think that perhaps Marty Feldman spread his seed a little more than was thought!

That sounds interesting. My first choice would be a Black Widow movie, but a TV show would be good too. I just wonder how long Scarlett Johanson wants to play the character.

I bet if next year's Wonder Woman movie is good, or at least very sucessful, Marvel might think more about doing a Black Widow movie.

The buzz I've read is that Wonder Woman is the stand-out of BvS.

I want a Black Widow movie too, though she would be really well suited for a series.

I can't stand Jeremy Renner, but Hawkeye could really benifit from a TV series that made him into a character.
FINE
