Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is on its way, it’s just going to take awhile. But from what we know about the threequel so far, it looks set to be worth the wait and will conclude the franchise in style. With James Gunn having completed the screenplay before he jumped ship to DC to direct The Suicide Squad, the story is already locked in. And here’s who the two main villains of the movie could be.

Sources are saying that GotG Vol. 3 will sport not one but two central antagonists. If you’ve been keeping up to date with the various reports about the film, you won’t be surprised by the identity of these characters. The first is the High Evolutionary, who’ll be revealed as Rocket’s creator, just like in the comics. We’ve been told that the cosmic scientist will want his rogue creation back under his wing.

Meanwhile, the second is Adam Warlock. He’s usually a hero in the source material, of course, but we’re hearing he’ll serve as a villain here. That makes sense when you consider one of Vol. 2‘s credits scenes teased Ayesha of the Sovereign creating him to destroy the Guardians for her. As such, sources say that he will be on the hunt for the Guardians to get revenge for his people. Though we’d imagine he might ultimately switch sides and become a good guy.
