1) Adam Warlock
Adam Warlock AKA Him has long been rumoured to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Not least because the character’s cocoon seemed to have popped up in the Collector’s collection in the first Guardians movie. More than that though, he plays an important role in the battle with Thanos in the comics. It wouldn’t too surprising, then, if he hatches out of his cocoon at some point during Avengers: Infinity War.
After that, he would be a natural fit for the next iteration of the Guardians of the Galaxy, as the character’s a founding member of the modern team on the page. As one of the most powerful heroes in all of the Marvel universe, Adam would be a fascinating new addition. From a character dynamics point of view, he tends to take himself quite seriously, so the rest of the team would have a lot of fun poking holes in his ego.
The inclusion of Warlock would also give the franchise a rich new mythology to explore. For instance, the enemy of his introductory movie could be Magus, his evil twin.
