Avengers: Endgame
Adam Warlock would ’ve been utilitarian in the Avengers ' battles with Thanos in bothAvengers : Infinity WarandAvengers : Endgame , but now that the Infinity Stones are gone , his story is rather pointless . When the two Avengers movies were in development and then late production , the story seemed to have remained the same but some aspects did exchange over time , such aspushing back Captain Marvel ’s introductionto her solo moving-picture show . But regrettably , Adam Warlock was never in thoughtfulness for either picture .
Infinity WarandEndgame ’s writer and directors have always been adamantine about their two movies focusing on the characters that define the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Iron Man , Captain America , Black Widow , and so onward . The cinema were n’t suppose to be about determine up the MCU ’s future with new characters and storylines - though parts of the storyhavesplintered off into separate projects ( e.g. Loki ) - so from that position , it made sense why they chose to leave out Adam Warlock . But in doing so , they denied him ( and longtime comic devotee ) a huge part of his story arc from the Infinity Gauntlet series .

Adam Warlock ’s determination in that miniseries was essentially split between three characters in bothInfinity WarandEndgame . Rather than Warlock leading the charge against Thanos , Captain America does that in both movies . And rather than Warlock using theInfinity Gauntlet to unwrap Thanos ' snapand defeat him once and for all , that plot line was buy the farm to both Hulk and Iron Man . Given that they were among the original Avengers , the decision to give them the bounteous second made sense ; however , that also took forth the opportunity to have Warlock unite the Cuban sandwich from all factions - the thaumaturgist , cosmic being , submarine from Earth - while simultaneously introducing a young , cosmic side of the cosmos .
Given that Disney did n’t yet own Fox whenEndgamewas being made , they could n’t de jure use Silver Surfer , so it ’s perceivable why he was n’t even hinted at in the flick . ButAdam Warlock was teased inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 2 , so the character was already on Marvel Studios ' mind - somewhere . In the MCU , Thanos ' main relationship are with Gamora and Nebula , but they were his " daughter " , so looker could never see Thanos in a different light , one from a character who in truth knew him . Warlock could ’ve filled that hole .
Unfortunately , now , Adam Warlock ’s main tether to the Marvel universe - the Infinity Stones - is gone , so the trajectory of his story would need to be altered in some way to make it work . At the moment , the ordered connectedness for Adam Warlock would be Kang the Conqueror , who is supposed to appear inAnt - Man 3 . Since Infinity Quest , Infinity Conflict , and other Infinity Stone / Gem - related stories likely wo n’t happen now , the best alternative would be to splice those two characters together - but even then , there ’s fiddling way for Adam Warlock to shine without Thanos and the Infinity Stones .
