New Video Explores Character Design Process for Adam Warlock, High Evolutionary in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3”

While Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was the final chapter in the story for characters we’ve come to know and love over several years, the film also introduced some new ones. A new video from Marvel gives fans a look at the creative process for creating Adam Warlock and the High Evolutionary.

  • The new video from Marvel features insights from director of visual development Andy Park and artist Constantine Sekeris.
  • Sekeris shared some details on what the creative team was working with when they created the look for Adam Warlock:
    • “Adam Warlock’s look in the respect of Guardians of the Galaxy 3 now, is he’s genetically grown by the Sovereign and it has to reflect that sort of aesthetic.”
  • As for the High Evolutionary, Park discusses the team’s inspiration for his look:
    • “For High Evolutionary, he is the epitome, the apex of intelligence and he’s learned as a scientist to manipulate evolution and in himself he has become the epitome of evolution and you see it in his form.”
