Fair warning, the following story will contain spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
With that out of the way, one of the five post-credit scenes for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 sees the Sovereign leader Ayesha (played by Elizabeth Debicki) about to unleash the creation of Adam Warlock. A development such as that makes it seem as if the character is set to return for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (which James Gunn has already started writing and will be returning to direct), but now there is a confirmation.
Speaking to IGN, Gunn was asked about the particular post-credit sequence and replied: “I absolutely plan on bringing Elizabeth Debicki back. She’s actually one of my favorite actors I’ve ever worked with. I think on this movie between her, Pom Klementieff who plays Mantis, and Chris Sullivan who plays Taserface, they really were three of the best actors I’ve ever worked with and were all such a joy on this film to deal with that I would love to deal with them again.”
