Dolph Lundgren shared a photo of his reunion with Sylvester Stallone from the set of The Expendables 4. The new film in the ensemble action franchise comes almost a decade after The Expendables 3, which was released in 2014. The film is being directed by former stunt coordinator Scott Waugh with an eye toward a 2022 release. Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, and Randy Couture are all reprising their franchise roles along with Expendables newbies Andy Garcia, 50 Cent, Tony Jaa, and Megan Fox.In the Expendables franchise, Dolph Lundgren plays Gunner Jensen, a chemical engineer with a wild streak, a reference to the fact that the Swedish actor has a degree in chemical engineering in real life. Jensen is known for his crass jokes, and is an original member of the Expendables team, having appeared in all three previous films. He has worked under Stallone’s character Barney Ross for years, though he can’t always avoid butting heads with him.Although Stallone has wrapped shooting on The Expendables 4, Dolph Lundgren shared a throwback photo from the set on his Instagram. It’s a black and white shot of him and Stallone relaxing between scenes. In his caption, Dolph expresses his gratitude that the film was being shot in London at the same time as Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, in which he will be reprising his role as King Nereus. It looks like he will be keeping Nereus’ long hair in the Expendables film as well, unless they put him in a wig before rolling the camera. Check out the post below:Click Here to View the Post on InstagramThe Expendables is the second action franchise to unite Stallone and Lundgren. Lundgren originally rose to prominence in the Stallone vehicle Rocky IV, in which he played Soviet boxer Ivan Drago. Lundgren’s casting in the original Expendables was certainly due to this connection, given that the series’ intent was to gather as many classic action stars as possible into one explosive film. Given the fact that Stallone himself directed and co-wrote the film, Lundgren was an obvious choice for the character.With both The Expendables 4 and Aquaman 2 gearing up for release next year, it’s going to be a big 2022 for Dolph Lundgren. To add to his busy promotional schedule, he will also be appearing in the World War II thriller Operation Seawolf and the animated sequel Minions: The Rise of Gru. His renaissance on the silver screen is well-earned, considering that the actor has devoted himself to entertaining audiences, appearing in nearly 100 titles across his career.Source: Dolph Lundgren

Netflix’s Korean survival drama Squid Game has captured the imagination of a global audience, but how exactly does the game stay a secret despite so many people going missing? The Netflix smash hit establishes that a group of wealthy individuals recruit competitors with massive debts to vie for Squid Game’s 45.6 billion Won prize, and it follows 456 of these competitors as they engage in the titular games. The premise of the game – and the show – is that 455 participants will die during the games, leaving one winner to take the prize money, pay off their debts, and live in comfort for the rest of their life. Through the investigation of Jun-ho, a policeman who infiltrates the game disguised as one of its masked workers, it’s revealed that the games have been running for 30 years. Assuming that each game has around 400 participants and (as the epilogue implies) that one occurs roughly once per year, that would mean an estimated body count of 11,970 – which is an awful lot of missing people to cover up. The theory that Jun-ho is still alive might see him bring the game’s existence to light in a potential Squid Game season 2, but the real question is: just how has it been kept a secret for so long?The show does imply an answer, but it’s one that requires a lot of clarification. The game is run by the Front Man – later revealed to be Jun-ho’s brother, In-ho – but it exists in order to entertain some of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people, known in Squid Game as the VIPs. With this level of financial backing behind it, it can be surmised that large sums of money are able to secure the game’s continued existence. Squid Game’s Old Man twist reveals that Oh Il-nam, also known as Player 001, is the game’s founder, but it doesn’t specify exactly how he has been able to keep it hidden for so long – although one of the most likely answers lies within the show’s narrative theme. Squid Game’s story is rooted in South Korea’s class divide and highlights the massive disparity of wealth within the country as well as examining the way in which the wealthy look at the people they deem beneath them. The most likely explanation for how the game remains a secret is that its selected players are all desperate people whose disappearance can be easily explained – Sang-woo is wanted by the police, Sae-byeok is a North Korean defector, and Gi-hun is a gambling addict with massive debt. The common theme is that Squid Game’s cast of characters all exist on the bottom rung of a society that doesn’t value them and that their disappearance will largely go unnoticed.This is evidenced in episode 2 when Gi-hun approaches the police, and they laugh him off. They dismiss his story as outlandish as he has no real credibility, with only Jun-ho willing to investigate in an unofficial capacity in hopes of finding his brother. It certainly appears that choosing its competitors carefully is key to the game’s continued secrecy, but it may even be more important that its workers are chosen carefully. From the events Jun-ho witnesses during his infiltration of the island, it’s clear that complete obedience is required of the workers, and steps are surely taken to choose Squid Game’s workers carefully in order to ensure their silence.It seems that Squid Game’s VIPs are the largest contributors to the game’s ability to remain hidden, but this is something that’s implied rather than stated. However, money and influence alone can’t guarantee silence, so it’s most likely that the game employs other contingencies against those seeking to expose it. Exactly what those methods might look like will surely come into play in Squid Game’s hypothetical season 2, as Gi-hun made his intentions to expose the game all too clear.

Warning: This post contains major spoilers for You Season 3.The explosive ending of You season 3 sees Penn Badgley’s Joe once more free of his crimes – despite an increasingly heinous rap sheet – but with his soul mate Love (Victoria Pedretti) killed off after turning on him. It’s a shocking turn of events that splits up the couple after some of the best drama of the season saw them negotiating the “safety” of married, suburban life as well as their dark impulses. But removing Joe’s wife (and son) in one fell swoop does serve a purpose for the future of the show.You season 3 is only partly based on Caroline Kepnes’ books, after the first two seasons were based on her first two titles, You and Hidden Bodies. As such, while there are elements of the story adapted from third Joe Goldberg book You Love Me, the majority of the plot was invented for the Netflix show. The librarian storyline comes from the book, but the fate of Love is changed significantly: in the third book, Vitoria Pedretti’s killer wife is initially not involved because the Quinn family have paid Joe $4m to stay away from them, but she appears to try and exact revenge on him. Here, of course, Love and Joe are somewhat “happily” married, and it’s not until the end when Joe’s new stalking victim is revealed that Love turns on him and is killed. In both cases, Love ends up dying, but in the book it’s by her own hand (after she shoots Joe in the head) – so why did You season 3’s ending change the specifics of Love’s death? And why was she killed in the first place? It comes down to the opportunity to continue Joe’s story into the newly announced You season 4, which couldn’t happen with Joe still tied to suburbia, and also fits with Joe’s darkness within and the curse that he will never be happy. As revealed in You season 3, Joe’s evil manifests because of his “mommy issues” (or so he claims) and his innate need to be the saviour after he was forced to kill his father to protect his mother. After she rejected him for what he did, Joe was forever cursed to chase the perfect opportunity to save his victims – as a power trip and a realization of the fantasy his mother robbed of him – and a stable, happy ending with Love simply didn’t fit that. In order for Joe’s story to continue, in other words, Love had to die in You season 3’s ending.You season 3 goes some way into exploring Joe’s origin story in a new way, giving him some insight into why he craves the power over his victims that drives him, but stops short of offering him the realization that he will never be happy with any of his “conquests”. As soon as the chase is over, Joe will always become bored and look to his next possible victim, who could still feed his saviour complex from afar, without the stability and mundanity of familiarity. Joe isn’t just stalking women, he’s stalking the happy ending and the validation from his mother he feels he’s due, and settling down destroys his opportunity to do that, blunting his edge.On top of that, the reality of Love is nothing like the fantasy he’d created in his own head that had been fed by his need to save her. As soon as she revealed that she could be just like him, he was repulsed, almost killing her but choosing not to because of her shock reveal of her pregnancy. From there on, Joe was simply playing a role, performing to fit in and be what he thought he needed to be to save his son from becoming just like him. But his quick infatuations with Natalie and then Marienne proved without doubt that it was all a lie hiding his true impulses. Now that Love has been removed from the scene, Joe can continue to chase what he will never achieve: satisfaction in his “hunt”. Additionally, Love’s death at the end of You season 3 potentially gives season 4 its antagonist, as the Quinn family are unlikely to allow his death to go fully investigated, which may put them on a collision course in France when Joe Goldberg returns.

On Friday, it was revealed Superman is getting a brand-new catchphrase, as the iconic DC Comics hero will fight for “Truth, Justice and a Better Tomorrow.” At DC FanDome, DC Chief Creative Officer and Publisher Jim Lee revealed the Man of Steel will officially be dropping the “American Way” from his motto and instead, which will be replaced by the phrase “a Better Tomorrow.” The new catchphrase better embodies the hero’s ultimate mission of making the world a better place.Superman is one of the most recognizable pop culture figures on the planet, as he originally debuted in Action Comics #1 in 1939. The hero has always been connected to the United States, as The Man of Tomorrow crash-landed on Earth and ended up being raised in Smallville, Kansas in the United States. However, despite his longtime motto suggesting he fights for the American Way, Superman has long fought for everyone across the globe – meaning his motto hasn’t been all-encompassing as it should be. Now, Superman is officially losing “The American Way” from his iconic catchphrase. MORE DETAILS WILL BE ADDED SOON.

LEGO Star Wars: Terrifying Tales, the latest comedic holiday-themed Star Wars television special, is the latest official property to poke fun at Kylo Ren’s mask. Kylo Ren, formerly Ben Solo, is one of the main antagonists of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, despite often being the subject of mockery both in-universe and in the real world. Like Darth Vader, Kylo Ren is a powerful dark side user who wears a menacing armored mask. Though Vader wore his mask as part of a cybernetic survival suit, Kylo wears his for a variety of other reasons — namely, vanity.Darth Vader, the grandfather of Ben Solo, was a Sith Lord who required his suit following grievous injuries sustained in a battle against Obi-Wan Kenobi. As Kylo Ren, Ben Solo worshipped Vader, but there were numerous differences between the two. Kylo was never a Sith. He was a Knight of Ren using the dark side with a different philosophical outlook from the Sith. While Vader resigned himself to his new Sith identity, Kylo craved his, killing and sacrificing everything any everyone necessary to ascend to his position as Master of the Knights of Ren. The humorous take on Kylo Ren’s origin in the non-canon Terrifying Tales took some inspiration from the canonical four-issue Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren comic series, with Ben becoming intrigued by the Knights of Ren during his Jedi days. In the LEGO parody, Ben joins the marauding gang, but receives his armor, robes, and mask immediately, since the Knights needed to maintain an intimidating appearance. Though it wasn’t meant to be taken seriously, this iteration of Kylo Ren wears his mask for similar reasons in the Star Wars canon universe.There were several reasons why Kylo wore a mask in the Star Wars sequels, but the main one is that all Knights of Ren wore armored suits, complete with battle helms. After renouncing his ties to the Jedi, Kylo usurped Ren as the Knights’ new leader and devoted himself to their philosophy and customs, including the use of an armored mask. Aside from indicating his affiliation with the Knights and protecting his head, Kylo’s mask served another, more sentimental, purpose.Kylo Ren worshipped his grandfather, Darth Vader, seeking to become a similarly fearsome dark side user, thanks in part to telepathic goading by Darth Sidious. When wearing his armored mask, which deepened his voice, Kylo felt more like Vader. Kylo’s dark side master, Snoke, brutally criticized Kylo in the comics and films for his attempts to mimic his grandfather.Snoke, along with Poe Dameron, also complained about the mask’s distortion of Kylo’s voice, making it the subject of frequent criticism in-universe. Aside from Kylo Ren’s desires to follow in Vader’s footsteps the traditional helmets worn by the Knights of Ren were meant to strike fear into their victims. This makes the satirical reason for Kylo Ren wearing his mask fitting in LEGO Star Wars: Terrifying Tales, as both he and the Knights of Ren were concerned with appearances.

DC’s Titans season 4 is officially announced, with the renewal confirmed during this year’s DC FanDome event. The show originally premiered in 2018 as a darker, grittier take on DC’s popular Teen Titans team, introducing core members like Dick Grayson (Brenton Thwaites), Kory Anders aka Starfire (Anna Diop), Gar Logan aka Beast Boy (Ryan Potter) and Rachel Roth aka Raven (Teagan Croft). In the seasons since, Titans has added Superboy (Joshua Orpin), Donna Troy (Conor Leslie) and Jason Todd (Curran Walters) to their roster of heroes – among other characters, including iconic villains like Deathstroke in season 2.In Titans season 3, Jason has become Red Hood and turned against his former team to antagonize them along with Dr. Johnathan Crane aka Scarecrow (Vincent Kartheiser). The season also introduced Barbara Gordon (Savannah Welch) and Tim Drake (Jay Lycurgo), the latter of which has teamed up with the Titans to help them battle Scarecrow. Now, for those wondering what’s next for Titans, the show has made an important announcement at DC FanDome 2021.During DC FanDome 2021, HBO Max announced Titans season 4, with the series officially renewed for another outing. Titans season 3 will wrap up on Oct. 21 with the finale episode. It’s not yet known when Titans season 4 will release, though it’s possible it’ll return sometime in 2022 depending on when filming starts and wraps.Since Titans season 4 has only just been confirmed and the season 3 finale has yet to air, it’s unclear what storyline the next season will explore. That said, given the sheer number of DC characters who join each season of the show, there’s no doubt the showrunners will add even more comics characters. Between Dick Grayson, Jason Todd and now Tim Drake on the show, it’s possible other popular Batman characters may be properly introduced, like Stephanie Brown or Duke Thomas.

DC’s Titans season 4 is officially announced, with the renewal confirmed during this year’s DC FanDome event. The show originally premiered in 2018 as a darker, grittier take on DC’s popular Teen Titans team, introducing core members like Dick Grayson (Brenton Thwaites), Kory Anders aka Starfire (Anna Diop), Gar Logan aka Beast Boy (Ryan Potter) and Rachel Roth aka Raven (Teagan Croft). In the seasons since, Titans has added Superboy (Joshua Orpin), Donna Troy (Conor Leslie) and Jason Todd (Curran Walters) to their roster of heroes – among other characters, including iconic villains like Deathstroke in season 2.
In Titans season 3, Jason has become Red Hood and turned against his former team to antagonize them along with Dr. Johnathan Crane aka Scarecrow (Vincent Kartheiser). The season also introduced Barbara Gordon (Savannah Welch) and Tim Drake (Jay Lycurgo), the latter of which has teamed up with the Titans to help them battle Scarecrow. Now, for those wondering what’s next for Titans, the show has made an important announcement at DC FanDome 2021.
During DC FanDome 2021, HBO Max announced Titans season 4, with the series officially renewed for another outing. Titans season 3 will wrap up on Oct. 21 with the finale episode. It’s not yet known when Titans season 4 will release, though it’s possible it’ll return sometime in 2022 depending on when filming starts and wraps.
Since Titans season 4 has only just been confirmed and the season 3 finale has yet to air, it’s unclear what storyline the next season will explore. That said, given the sheer number of DC characters who join each season of the show, there’s no doubt the showrunners will add even more comics characters. Between Dick Grayson, Jason Todd and now Tim Drake on the show, it’s possible other popular Batman characters may be properly introduced, like Stephanie Brown or Duke Thomas. It’s also not yet clear who the main villain of Titans season 4 will be, but there’s quite a number of possibilities if they pull from the comics.

An upcoming Minecraft update, called The Wild Update, has been announced and will launch in 2022. The hugely successful survival sandbox game places players in massive randomly-generated worlds and tasks them with gathering resources to survive. Continued updates have helped enhance Minecraft’s world generation over time, with the upcoming Cave & Cliffs Update Part 2 changing biomes so that they generate more realistically.The latest update for Minecraft, Caves & Cliffs Update Part 1, introduced major changes to the game’s deepest caves and tallest cliffs. Back in June the first part of this two-part update brought interesting new mobs, unique new resources, and useful new items into the game. Underwater areas received bizarre axolotl creatures, and goats can now be found roaming the game’s mountains. Copper and amethyst can also be found in caves, giving players new reasons to dig deep into Minecraft’s caves. Previews of Caves & Cliffs Part 2, which show off further additions like biome blending, were shown at the recent Minecraft Live digital event.Alongside showing previews of Caves & Cliffs Part 2, Minecraft Live also announced a brand-new update to the game called The Wild. This update, coming at some point in 2022, appears to focus on general improvements for swamp biomes. A new Mangrove Swamp biome will be added, which features shallow water and overgrown mangrove trees. Frogs will be a new mob found in these swamps, and mud blocks can be created by adding water to a dirt block. Boats with built-in chests will make exploring these waterlogged areas more efficient for players.Watch the highlight video from Minecraft Live 2021 on YouTube here. Alongside the extensive new Mangrove Swamp biome, The Wild Update will bring a larger and much scarier new location to the game as well. Minecraft’s new Deep Dark Cities are terrifying underground areas with their very own enemies, loot and gameplay features. Deep Cities are massive cavernous areas filled with ruins for players to explore, with mysterious central structures containing the most useful loot. A new Sculk resource will also spread throughout these areas, and players can earn experience or enchantment points for harvesting them.Minecraft is an ever-expanding title, which has allowed the game to maintain a strong fanbase for over a decade. New biomes and environmental generation systems are being introduced in Caves & Cliffs Part 2 and The Wild Update, making the game even more exciting to explore. Minecraft’s worlds have always been massive, but earlier iterations of the game could create environments that are awkwardly shaped or confusingly placed. The Wild Update will greatly increase the immersive nature of swamps while also adding creepy underground Deep Cities.Source: Minecraft Live/YouTube, Minecraft/YouTube

Which MCU character would win in a fight, Captain Marvel or Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’s Adam Warlock? The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s “most powerful” debate has raged among fans since Phase 2 rapidly began broadening the franchise’s roster of super-powered characters. Though there’s no firm consensus on which hero currently holds that title, the most common picks are Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch (especially after her WandaVision boost), and Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel, though that may soon change with Eternals on the horizon.Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will introduce another keen contender for the MCU Heavyweight title – Adam Warlock. Left enraged by the Guardians of the Galaxy and their light-fingered raccoon, Ayesha, leader of the Sovereign, set about advancing the genetic engineering of her people to create “Adam.” The most powerful and destructive member of the entire Sovereign species, Adam (the MCU’s live-action version of Marvel comic character, Adam Warlock) will debut fully in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and Will Poulter is now officially cast in the role.Adam Warlock will immediately become one of the strongest entities in the entire MCU, and as a space-faring warrior wielding cosmic power, comparisons to Carol Danvers are only natural. Brie Larson’s ace pilot continues to play a major role in the overarching MCU narrative, and returns in her 2022 solo sequel The Marvels… but is Captain Marvel stronger than Adam Warlock?Although their origin stories are very different, Captain Marvel’s MCU powers are broadly the same as her Marvel comics counterpart. Brie Larson gained superhuman abilities through raw exposure to the Space Stone, whereas the original Carol Danvers was a Kree/human hybrid whose biology mutated thanks to the Kree’s psyche-magnitron. Danvers received gifts similar to Mar-Vell (who was also present during the psyche-magnitron incident) and became the superhero known as Ms. Marvel, before eventually transitioning to her more familiar guise of Captain Marvel.Carol’s powers have disappeared, changed, reawakened and faded over the decades, but generally consist of enhanced physical attributes (the typical strength, speed, stamina and durability), manipulation of cosmic energy, flight, and regenerative qualities. In the Marvel comics, Carol possessed a form of mental cosmic awareness to sense danger before it happened, which is missing from the live-action character. On the other hand, MCU Captain Marvel gets Binary Mode, burning through cosmic power to supercharge her existing abilities. Binary Mode is the MCU interpretation of Danvers’ Binary transformation in the comic books.Adam Warlock’s combat repertoire in the MCU remains to be seen, but the comic character is a well established Marvel powerhouse. Rather than the Sovereign, Adam was created by the Enclave as the epitome of human evolution – a genetically perfect being harboring unique physiology and awesome powers. Like Captain Marvel, Adam possesses super strength, speed, stamina and durability, and casts cosmic energy as a weapon. He’s also extremely difficult to kill, having something of a distanced relationship with Death, and using his cocoon to resurrect even after being killed. Other powers Adam Warlock has displayed throughout his lifespan include telepathy, teleportation, proficiency in magic, telekinesis, pyrokinesis and advanced cosmic senses. Though much of Adam’s power derives from the manner of his creation, the Marvel character has been augmented further by the Soul Gem (an equivalent to the MCU Soul Stone), which was a gift from the High Evolutionary. Adam’s bond with the Soul Stone has evolved his existing powers, making Warlock one of the Marvel universe’s most formidable entities.Will Poulter’s MCU Adam Warlock comes bearing a very different origin story. Rather than being designed as the pinnacle of human evolution, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’s post-credits sequence reveals Ayesha created Adam as the next evolutionary step of her own people, the Sovereign. In theory, this would make MCU Adam even stronger than the comic character, since the Sovereign are already superior to us measly Earthlings. Likewise, Ayesha’s Sovereign are renowned masters of genetic engineering in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, whereas the Enclave was a coalition of (admittedly brilliant and well-funded) scientists originating on Earth. Again, one could argue that the Sovereign’s alien technology should produce a more formidable Adam Warlock than the comic books.However, Adam’s alien origins might simply be compensation for his lack of Soul Gem. A fair portion of Adam Warlock’s comic strength can be attributed to having an Infinity Gem lodged in his head, and this simply isn’t going to fly on the big screen. Thanks to Avengers: Infinity War, we know the Soul Stone resided with Red Skull on Vormir until Thanos came along, which means Ayesha almost certainly couldn’t use the orange-y jewel on Adam without some serious timeline gymnastics (which, let’s face it, wouldn’t be the first time). More likely, Poulter’s Adam Warlock will have nothing whatsoever to do with the Soul Stone, which leaves Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 two alternatives. Either Adam will be under-powered in live-action, or the Sovereign’s superior scientific knowledge means Adam gets all of his comic book powers without the influence of an Infinity Stone.In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’s post-credits scene, Ayesha promises her Adam will be capable of destroying Star-Lord’s eclectic crew of space bandits, suggesting Will Poulter’s character demonstrates his might as a villain in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. This might explain Thor’s role in the threequel, as the As-Guardian can stand up to Adam while the others run away. In the Marvel comics, Adam is not only a heroic character (usually), he also turns on his own creators. This means the MCU’s new addition will likely switch sides before Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is over.Assuming Kevin Feige and James Gunn allow Adam Warlock more or less the same complement of powers and abilities as the comic character, it’s he who would emerge victorious in a fight against Captain Marvel.Although both Marvel characters are capable of absorbing and hurling photon energy, Adam Warlock’s range of cosmic attacks is much wider. Whereas Carol Danvers traditionally sticks to Dragon Ball Z-esque waves and blasts, Adam’s cosmic techniques show more versatility, including the kind of energy constructs and matter manipulation rarely seen from Carol Danvers, especially in the MCU. In addition to his proficiency with energy, Adam Warlock’s quantum magic capabilities provide yet another edge over Captain Marvel, and his potential to sense Carol’s attacks and teleport away would prove especially annoying to Brie Larson’s character. Captain Marvel’s only hope against Adam Warlock would be to somehow negate his cosmic powers and engage in a fist fight, where the experience and guile of Carol Danvers might overcome her godly opponent.Of course, even if Captain Marvel could take Adam Warlock down, he’d simply slip into a regeneration cocoon and revive for a rematch, whereas Carol’s regenerative anti-aging qualities are far more limited. Whatever angle you approach it, Adam Warlock (assuming his MCU powers mirror the comic books) has several upper hands against Ms. Danvers.This outcome is supported by their respective battles against other Marvel comics characters, Thanos in particular. Carol Danvers boasts plenty of impressive victories against her name, and fared better against Thanos than many other Avengers (both in the comics and live-action). Nevertheless, Adam Warlock enjoyed a much easier clash with the Mad Titan. Adam successfully defeats the Infinity saga’s villain in Jim Starlin’s original story, and while Mar-Vell (an earlier Captain Marvel) also boasts a victory against the Mad Titan on his record, Carol Danvers does not. Elsewhere, Adam Warlock knocked out the mighty Silver Surfer (as a kindness to prevent his death), took a blast from Galactus, and was omnipotent enough to become the Living Tribunal. Very little in Captain Marvel’s superhero career comes close to such feats.All of which would suggest that, despite Captain Marvel’s position among the strongest on the Avengers’ roster, Adam Warlock ranks among the strongest beings in the universe, several steps above Carol Danvers. That won’t necessarily carry over into Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, but Brie Larson should watch her back nonetheless – Adam Warlock goes higher, further and, indeed, faster.
