The name “Adam Warlock” comes after an encounter with High Evolutionary, who gave him the name Warlock. When he went to Counter-Earth, he was befriended by teenagers who gave him the name Adam.
Will Poulter has most recently been seen in the new Hulu series Dopesick, and before that, the Prime Video series The Underground Railroad. He’s also well known for his roles in The Maze Runner, We’re The Millers and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
