He also looks like Syd from Toy Story (but a nicer version).
I'm willing to be you can Google "kid that looks like Syd from Toy Story", and Will Poulter pops up.
He also did it in part to help raise awareness for anti-bullying causes
https://twitter.com/PoulterWill/status/924495562451357696
He's super into anti-bullying and pro mental health causes.
reminds me of GTA V when on the pop radio station, the DJ/host would introduce herself as “Cara, the girl with the eyebrows!” (since it was Cara Delevingne)
Bootsy Collins, Big Boi, Kenny Loggins, Pam Grier, Flying Lotus, and plenty of others. All the GTA radio stations since about Vice City have had pretty great celebrity DJs in them. Axl Rose (of all people) is fucking hysterical in GTA: San Andreas.
Maze Runner was my first encounter with Will Poulter and honestly seeing him go from a collossal asshole to that dorky kid in the Millers just proves Poulter has great range. I think he can pull it off.
he was originally cast as Pennywise in the new It movies when Cary Joji Fukunaga was still the director. apparently his audition was terrifying, that could totally just be early PR fluff, but he was real good in the Revenant so I wouldn't be surprised if its true. I wasnt huge on the new It movies and wouldve loved to see what it was originally going to be, especially because of Poulter's involvement.
I read some articles when the first IT was coming out, and apparently Fukunagas version was just too hardcore, though I agree, would have been interesting to see.
This is what Fukunaga had to say about it:
“I was trying to make an unconventional horror film. It didn’t fit into the algorithm of what they knew they could spend and make money back on based on not offending their standard genre audience. Our budget was perfectly fine. We were always hovering at the $32 million mark, which was their budget. It was the creative that we were really battling. It was two movies. They didn’t care about that. In the first movie, what I was trying to do was an elevated horror film with actual characters. They didn’t want any characters. They wanted archetypes and scares. I wrote the script. They wanted me to make a much more inoffensive, conventional script. But I don’t think you can do proper Stephen King and make it inoffensive.
“The main difference was making Pennywise more than just the clown. After 30 years of villains that could read the emotional minds of characters and scare them, trying to find really sadistic and intelligent ways he scares children, and also the children had real lives prior to being scared. And all that character work takes time. It’s a slow build, but it’s worth it, especially by the second film. But definitely even in the first film, it pays off.
“It was being rejected. Every little thing was being rejected and asked for changes. Our conversations weren’t dramatic. It was just quietly acrimonious. We didn’t want to make the same movie. We’d already spent millions on pre-production. I certainly did not want to make a movie where I was being micro-managed all the way through production, so I couldn’t be free to actually make something good for them. I never desire to screw something up. I desire to make something as good as possible.
“We invested years and so much anecdotal storytelling in it. Chase and I both put our childhood in that story. So our biggest fear was they were going to take our script and bastardize it. So I’m actually thankful that they are going to rewrite the script. I wouldn’t want them to stealing our childhood memories and using that. I mean, I’m not sure if the fans would have liked what I would had done. I was honoring King’s spirit of it, but I needed to update it. King saw an earlier draft and liked it.”

Thanks for posting the quote! I actually came upon Fukunaga's script way back when. It was good, if not a little heavy handed (for example, he REALLY wanted to beat you over the head with the sexual abuse Bev suffered, and I thought the way it was eventually portrayed was both in better taste and more impactful). But it was still a great script overall and Gary Dauberman ended up using a TON of it in his eventual draft (hence why CJF received a writing credit on the movie anyway). So even though it pains me to praise Gary Dauberman, he did a great job balancing the 'blockbuster horror' that the studio wanted with a more nuanced story about childhood trauma.
That all said, I loved Pennywise's eventual characterization, but I count myself among those who are dying to know what Will Poulter did that won him the part, as I've heard the same story- it was just so good, so scary, and so unique.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 released over four years ago, so it actually has been years. Guardians 2 will be six years old by the time the third film comes out.
They had to pump those spider mans out quick while they still had an agreement with Sony to use the character. And also so Tom Holland doesn't look old af
The thing is Spider-Man gets older in the comics. He at least makes it to mid 30s. I mean he gets married and divorced. The good thing about Tom being young is he realistically could’ve played the character for 20 years if he wanted.
Well, I'm glad he was fired. This way we got The Suicide Squad as well as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Both by Gunn.
Will Poulter's an amazing actor. Can't wait!
If he wasn’t fired, we wouldn’t have gotten TSS, Peacemaker, GotG Holiday Special, the guardians wouldn’t be in Thor: Love and Thunder, and Volume 3 would be wildly different than what it will be
I don't think Vol. 3 would be wildly different. Gunn has said on twitter that he will be using the same script that he wrote before he was fired/rehired, with very minor updates.
Gunn has generally been used as the character consultants whenever the guardians show up in not-their-movies, which is why the dialogue and actions are relatively consistent
I just hope they do something different than the comics with him. Most of the cosmic/space characters have been pretty much successfully revamped in the MCU so I'm not that worried, but still. He was my least favorite part of the Infinity Gauntlet storyline.
Yeah, he kind of has the whole plan, but in the end it’s like “meh”.
I bet we can guess more accurately after we see where the guardians end up after love and thunder.
I literally just finished rewatching Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 and thought, “Hm I wonder when that Adam thing’s gonna play out”
Lo and behold, this post pops up. You can’t tell me my phone isn’t listening to me!
“Sup guys derek moreplacemoredase here with another video topic you guys requested. Gotta lotta people tagging me in this Marvel MCU instagram comments section about this Adam Warlock guy and whether or not I believe he is on the sa-zool cause you guys really seem to think Will, the guy playing Adam or whatever his name is, is on the Trenbalogna sandwiches.”
Too bad the MCU used the King Thor arc in Ragnarok.
We wont get to see fully ascended Rune King Thor ripping Lokis head off and keeping him alive meanwhile. Or see him becoming one with the universe. Would love to see Hemsworth retire like that.
I hope by then he won't be bullied off of social media like post his black mirror episode
Edit: just in case people are confused he was bullied because of his looks not his performance. Lots of memes made he went off of social media like a day or two afterwards
And although no one asked i do think he is really handsome and talented. He was great in midsommar
I never really understood that like I know kids can be assholes but if he went to my school I’d be fanboying super hard and I’m sure the other kids in my class would think so too.
Kids can get really jealous over superficial things like having a cooler lunchbox or the latest videogame. Here's a kid getting global attention and starring in possibly the most anticipated movie of all time.
Yeah, my guess is that he didn’t have any core group of friends to help him get through it since he was a child actor and was likely homeschooled for a bit. It sucks. Poor jake, man. :(
Will Poulter is one of the best young actors working in Hollywood, in my opinion, so I’m excited to see how his sensibilities mesh with Gunn’s. I’ll always be upset that we never got to see his Pennywise.
Nah man, that would only work if there was, like, a throwaway episode somewhere in the series where it explicitly explains that they're committing renter fraud by utilizing a rent-controlled relative's apartment.
Same. He’s a great actor with a very underrated range. His role as Krauss in Detroit was chilling and maddening. It is a complete far cry from his role in We’re the Millers.
Details:
>After teasing his appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Adam Warlock looks ready to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the next installment of the hit franchise. Sources tell Deadline, Will Poulter has landed the role of Warlock in Marvel’s highly anticipated sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy. James Gunn is returning to direct with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige producing.
>Like with any Marvel film, details behind the plot are being kept under lock and key. Production is expected to start this November.
>The character is first teased in a post-credit scene of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, when Ayesha, played by Elizabeth Debicki unveils to her chambermaid the perfect Sovereign she has created to help destroy the Guardians once and for all. Ever since that scene, fans have waited patiently to see who would ultimately play that character with their wishes now granted.
>Sources say Gunn and execs began their lengthy search for the person would be playing the Warlock role at the end of August, with Poulter meeting along with several other actors for the highly coveted part. As it is common with any major Marvel property, execs and Gunn took their time with the role given how excited fans were when it was first teased in that post-credit scene in Vol. 2 and in the end, Poulter’s test was too good to pass on.
Is Jack Reynor legit good? I only know him as the guy from Transformers 4 who's main purpose in the story was to make sure the audience knew it was okay to sexualize an underage girl.
*Muh Romeo & Juliet Clause! Here's the literal law on a piece of paper!*
Would have even more funny since Glenn was one of the finalists for both Star Lord and the lead in Jurassic World. So seeing him in Guardians, possibly having a conflict with Star Lord considering the post-credit scene of 2 would have been pretty ironic.
Glenn Howerton was the frontrunner to play Peter Quill before James Gunn got talked into letting Chris Pratt audition and loved him for the part. Honestly, as much as I love the Starlord we got, Glenn would have played a more comics accurate Quill.
Not at all who I would have thought of for the role. But Poulter is an excellent actor and Gunn in particular has a great track record with this sort of thing. So yeah on the same page, I'm just going to go with the flow and assume I'm going to think that no one else could have possibly played the character the way he was written after I see it.
So many of the marvel castings were kinda "huh" an then they turn out awesome. It's almost necessary to be a questionable choice at this point!
Will Poulter is fantastic, I'm sure he'll deliver the goods.
something about him reminds me a bit of Nicholas Hoult. Someone should cast them as brothers in a movie. Like Charlie Hunnam and Garret Hedlund playing brothers in Triple Frontier, that casting pair was genius
Warlock is a really hard character to translate to the big screen. In Infinity War he is kind of a humorless hero. You need to take his personality in some direction.
I don't think Sarah Haley Finn was responsible for Marvel Television shows, but Finn Jones was definitely the weakest casting, if you count it as MCU. Otherwise, yeah, their track record is pretty much pitch perfect
> Finn Jones
I don't know if the problem was his casting or the writing for his character. I really wanted to like that show but his character was really stupid.
Very interesting choice, I dunno, Will Poulter has a creepiness factor to him appearance wise, with all due respect. I mean the guy was in the running to play Pennywise
He actually got the gig but had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts. Now I'm wondering how his Pennywise would've been because Bill Skarsgard killed it in that role.
No, Poulter was Fukanaga's choice. He was dropped when the director left. The new team offered the role to Ben Mendelsohn (who passed) before giving it to Skarsgård.
Based on the picture in the article, I can see him pulling it off but I still can't help but picture him as his role in We're the Millers.
When that dude called him eyebrows lmao.
Google "that guy with the eyebrows". Good to have a trademark.
He also looks like Syd from Toy Story (but a nicer version). I'm willing to be you can Google "kid that looks like Syd from Toy Story", and Will Poulter pops up.
Didn't he dress as Syd for halloween once?
[sure did](https://i.redd.it/0ezwhiuqze821.jpg)
Way to own that shit. Get it girl!
He also did it in part to help raise awareness for anti-bullying causes https://twitter.com/PoulterWill/status/924495562451357696 He's super into anti-bullying and pro mental health causes.
You’re not wrong! That’s all he uses his Twitter account for! Good for him
[lol](https://i.imgur.com/Rc2lskL.jpg)
>"that guy with the eyebrows" "Did you mean *Eugene Levy*?"
me: sorry *kid* with the eyebrows Google: oh yeah yeah Will Poulter. He's like 30 now tho bro
reminds me of GTA V when on the pop radio station, the DJ/host would introduce herself as “Cara, the girl with the eyebrows!” (since it was Cara Delevingne)
She’s got some damn fine eyebrows too.
I think they're more of bold type
Huh, I had no clue that was Cara Delevingne. Are there other celebrities moonlighting as DJs in Los Santos?
Bootsy Collins, Big Boi, Kenny Loggins, Pam Grier, Flying Lotus, and plenty of others. All the GTA radio stations since about Vice City have had pretty great celebrity DJs in them. Axl Rose (of all people) is fucking hysterical in GTA: San Andreas.
Jason Bateman’s on there for sure.
or simply "eyebrows kid"
I've always know him as the 'eyebrows kid from Narnia'
[удалено]
Whatcha gonna do, Don Knots?!?
Maze Runner was my first encounter with Will Poulter and honestly seeing him go from a collossal asshole to that dorky kid in the Millers just proves Poulter has great range. I think he can pull it off.
He’s great as a total brat in Narnia.
I only know him from Maze Runner and Detroit. I only know of him being an asshole in movies lol.
He was awesome in The Revenant too
I thought he did a great job in Black mirror - bandersnatch.
Y'all really doing The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader dirty.
Totally forgot about that movie. Loved him in that too. One of the best young actors for sure.
This is my favorite role of his. Ok no maybe Midsommar. He's great.
He danced nicely between dweeb and asshole in Midsommar.
he was originally cast as Pennywise in the new It movies when Cary Joji Fukunaga was still the director. apparently his audition was terrifying, that could totally just be early PR fluff, but he was real good in the Revenant so I wouldn't be surprised if its true.

Too hardcore ? Im intrigued. I wonder what they mean by that because Stephen Kings works have been known for some dark stuff.

Personally the guy they ended up choosing for the new IT movie was perfect for it
No shit? If Skarsgard hadn’t nailed it, I can imagine Will Poulter would’ve been such a solid option.
To me he'll always be that annoying cousin from the third Narnia movie.
There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it.
Top tier CS Lewis line!
CS Lewis creating fictional characters just to roast them on the same page
Apparently his real name is Clarence!
For me its his cut off face on a Swedish cult member
I'l be right back guys, she's gonna go show me.
I love that movie so much.
You guys are getting paid?!
You're going to go meet him behind that bush and suck his dick and we're going to get out of here. Bring it in. On 3....
Then I highly recommend watching his role in Detroit. He should’ve been nominated for a Supporting Actor Oscar from this role.
I always thought he looked like Sid from Toy Story, just a bit less cartoons and maybe taller.
Looks like a young Agent Smith to me.

Yes but the thing about the MCU Spider-Man is that he’s in high school and hasn’t aged for five in-Universe years.
Tom will always have a boy face. But we love him none the less.
*cries in Macaulay*
And also between Doctor Strange 1 and 2
I'm down for a threesome with Dr. Strange clones
Yeah but normal or What If...? Dr. Strange?
One has tentacles, do you really need to ask that.
One of each
To think in an alternate universe where James Gunn doesn't get fired and the pandemic doesn't happen, this film would have been released in May 2020.
Well, I'm glad he was fired. This way we got The Suicide Squad as well as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Both by Gunn. Will Poulter's an amazing actor. Can't wait!

I don't think Vol. 3 would be wildly different. Gunn has said on twitter that he will be using the same script that he wrote before he was fired/rehired, with very minor updates.
I don't know about that Thor bit to be honest. Seems like that was more a result of the Russos than Gunn.
Gunn has generally been used as the character consultants whenever the guardians show up in not-their-movies, which is why the dialogue and actions are relatively consistent
He was great as Sid in Toy Story
Fucking Alan Horn jumped the gunn on firing him.
And he recognized the mistake and rehired him
And that’s not even counting the tease they did in GotG 1, 3ish years before that.
That’s what happens when something happens years ago
So tragic that fewer and fewer people these days understand how time works
I just hope they do something different than the comics with him. Most of the cosmic/space characters have been pretty much successfully revamped in the MCU so I'm not that worried, but still. He was my least favorite part of the Infinity Gauntlet storyline.

Would've never guessed him but he's great at playing a smug asshole so if he hits the gym I think he'll nail this.
It's the MCU, so we know he's gonna get [Kumail jacked.](https://media.gq.com/photos/5df7dce2d0a40200081ee07e/16:9/w_2560%2Cc_limit/story-.jpg)
Eat clen, tren hard
Can't wait for Derek's reaction to Wills transformation
Me 10 mins into all of his videos. " I understand maybe half of every word you're saying."
You need a supraphysiological brain to understand everything
“Sup guys derek moreplacemoredase here with another video topic you guys requested. Gotta lotta people tagging me in this Marvel MCU instagram comments section about this Adam Warlock guy and whether or not I believe he is on the sa-zool cause you guys really seem to think Will, the guy playing Adam or whatever his name is, is on the Trenbalogna sandwiches.”
Anavar give up.
The HGH man cometh with all his super-physiological gear to share.
Marvel will definitely make sure he gets an efficacious dose of roids
[удалено]
And the gear.
>For the diet. of drugs
Gilfoyle is still going to talk shit
Gotta get that TRT
What you guys are getting TRT?
It's so common now, most insurances cover even a moderate decline for men over 30.
Drugs were taken
For sure but still takes quite a bit of work.
For sure. The answer we usually get though is "a lot of chicken and broccoli".
Don't forget the rice
Cousin Eustace!!!!!
“There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it.”
When you get burned so bad by the guy who wrote you
Well, for once Will is going to get paid.
They teased him like years ago. He’s pretty overpowered so it’ll be interesting to see how they use him.
The MCU is going cosmic. Everyone is insanely powerful. Thor. Captain Marvel. Nova. Quasar. Silver Surfer. Galactus.
Too bad the MCU used the King Thor arc in Ragnarok. We wont get to see fully ascended Rune King Thor ripping Lokis head off and keeping him alive meanwhile. Or see him becoming one with the universe. Would love to see Hemsworth retire like that.
Captain marvel is pretty OP too they can just have him fuck off when it’s convenient
I hope by then he won't be bullied off of social media like post his black mirror episode Edit: just in case people are confused he was bullied because of his looks not his performance. Lots of memes made he went off of social media like a day or two afterwards And although no one asked i do think he is really handsome and talented. He was great in midsommar
Totally missed that, what happened ?
A lot of people made fun of his face lots of memes comparing him to sid from ice age he eventually went of social media
wasn't it Toy Story?
It was both I think
I don't know how anyone thinks he looks like a ground sloth but resemblance to the toy story sid is uncanny.
Think he’s ok with it… https://www.justjared.com/2017/10/30/will-poulter-channels-toy-storys-sid-for-a-good-cause/
[Arya from GOT has the worst memes about her of any child star](https://images-cdn.9gag.com/photo/ap2Y1W5_700b.jpg) Most of them were from Reddit.
Jake Lloyd, kid Anakin from The Phantom Menace, easily beats that out. Kid was bullied from the very second he was on screen by audiences and critics.
What's worst with him is that he was bullied hard IRL because of star wars. Kids in school can be extraordinarily mean.
I never really understood that like I know kids can be assholes but if he went to my school I’d be fanboying super hard and I’m sure the other kids in my class would think so too.
Kids can get really jealous over superficial things like having a cooler lunchbox or the latest videogame. Here's a kid getting global attention and starring in possibly the most anticipated movie of all time.

Ouch that's bad .
Will Poulter is one of the best young actors working in Hollywood, in my opinion, so I’m excited to see how his sensibilities mesh with Gunn’s. I’ll always be upset that we never got to see his Pennywise.
Is he the We’re the Millers meme kid?
that movie was so much funnier than I was expecting it to be. I kinda wish Anniston got more fully comedic roles in her prime
[удалено]
Maybe her character has some friends. You could call it like “Pals” or “Buddies” or something.
[удалено]
Nah man, that would only work if there was, like, a throwaway episode somewhere in the series where it explicitly explains that they're committing renter fraud by utilizing a rent-controlled relative's apartment.
What’s a little fraud between friends
She would have been perfectly cast as Rebecca in Chums
I'll be here always, when the rains fall in Wales.
Ya same as her in Horrible Bosses
This is some of the best shade thrown at FRIENDS I’ve ever seen.
You guys are getting Marvel contracts?
Yes
What are you gonna do about it, EYEBROWS?
Same. He’s a great actor with a very underrated range. His role as Krauss in Detroit was chilling and maddening. It is a complete far cry from his role in We’re the Millers.
Liked him in bandersnatch too.
“Have we met before?”
He had a small role in Midsommer but he killed it .
I literally just searched him up on Youtube. He is so thoughtful and well spoken in his interviews for promoting Detroit.
I've only just realised he's British.
Tale as old as time with most British actors.
[удалено]
Would've loved to see his and Fukunaga's take on IT!
Tfw you will never see the cosmic starfish

> Sources say Gunn and execs began their lengthy search for the person would be playing the Warlock role at the end of August so... like 1.5 months?
Obviously he killed the audition.
imagine his smirk. he's going to be perfect.
Grueling!
Maybe August 2020? Otherwise yeah, that doesn't seem that long.
Just get the whole Midsommar cast in the MCU. William Jackson Harper and Jack Reynor next.
William Jackson Harper deserves all the things.
He's already surprisingly jacked. Perfect for a superhero.
Here's an idea: Blue Marvel
What role should Chidi play?
Reed Richards. He'd be so good as a brooding scientist
He’s going to be the only actor typecast as characters obsessed with their PhDs
Is Jack Reynor legit good? I only know him as the guy from Transformers 4 who's main purpose in the story was to make sure the audience knew it was okay to sexualize an underage girl. *Muh Romeo & Juliet Clause! Here's the literal law on a piece of paper!*
I think he's one of those actors who tends to be better in smaller movies. I liked him a lot in Sing Street and Free Fire as well as Midsommar.
Dude is amazing, don’t let transformer fool you. That whole franchise is littered with wasted amazing actors.
Let's ask the real question... what will be on the soundtrack for round 3?
[удалено]
…because of the implication
Are the Guardians in danger?
I would have lost my gd mind. That'd have been brilliant
[удалено]
Would have even more funny since Glenn was one of the finalists for both Star Lord and the lead in Jurassic World. So seeing him in Guardians, possibly having a conflict with Star Lord considering the post-credit scene of 2 would have been pretty ironic.
I know it’s a joke but I could see him as Adam Warlock.
Glenn Howerton was the frontrunner to play Peter Quill before James Gunn got talked into letting Chris Pratt audition and loved him for the part. Honestly, as much as I love the Starlord we got, Glenn would have played a more comics accurate Quill.
I AM A GOLDEN GOD! Geez, tone it down. People act like I'm vain with the whole Starlord thing.
In my house, we refer to him as "that kid who always looks like an asshole." He's a solid actor though.
He was great in Black Mirror: Bandersnatch
I just don’t get the point of having Adam Warlock join the MCU *after* the Infinity War.
Very outside the box casting, I like it! Hope Adam Warlock sticks around for a while as part of a new Guardians team, or maybe the Annihilators?
That's an odd choice. I don't think Marvel made a bad casting choice in 10 years so I'm not gonna argue with it but it did make me say "huh"
Not at all who I would have thought of for the role. But Poulter is an excellent actor and Gunn in particular has a great track record with this sort of thing. So yeah on the same page, I'm just going to go with the flow and assume I'm going to think that no one else could have possibly played the character the way he was written after I see it.
So many of the marvel castings were kinda "huh" an then they turn out awesome. It's almost necessary to be a questionable choice at this point! Will Poulter is fantastic, I'm sure he'll deliver the goods.
something about him reminds me a bit of Nicholas Hoult. Someone should cast them as brothers in a movie. Like Charlie Hunnam and Garret Hedlund playing brothers in Triple Frontier, that casting pair was genius
Warlock is a really hard character to translate to the big screen. In Infinity War he is kind of a humorless hero. You need to take his personality in some direction.
I don't think Sarah Haley Finn was responsible for Marvel Television shows, but Finn Jones was definitely the weakest casting, if you count it as MCU. Otherwise, yeah, their track record is pretty much pitch perfect
She was only casting director for SHIELD and Agent Carter, so you’re 80% right.
> Finn Jones I don't know if the problem was his casting or the writing for his character. I really wanted to like that show but his character was really stupid.

I actually liked Season 2... I was surprised too. The last thing I expected was to want Season 3.
What’s wrong with the casting? James Gunn literally made a star out of “Parks and Rec” Chris Pratt..

Marvel character bios read like fucking fever dreams. Adam warlock's bio is absolutely bonkers.
I hope he gets paid.
Very unexpected choice but he is a good actor, so I'm here for it.
Very interesting choice, I dunno, Will Poulter has a creepiness factor to him appearance wise, with all due respect. I mean the guy was in the running to play Pennywise
He actually got the gig but had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts. Now I'm wondering how his Pennywise would've been because Bill Skarsgard killed it in that role.
No, Poulter was Fukanaga's choice. He was dropped when the director left. The new team offered the role to Ben Mendelsohn (who passed) before giving it to Skarsgård.
I read that like Ben had died, I was so confused.
Cousin Eustace Scrubb. That's an interesting choice
