This guy was absolutely menacing in the actual movie. I fucking thank Mr. Iwuji for his wonderful performance as The High Evolutionary. This guy was... Insane, outright cruel, had no regards for anyone whatsoever to 'make the perfect society' as quoted in the movie.
Yeah he just scrapped a whole planet of living beings and families because mario told him that counter-earth wasn't perfect. It was really strange just how fast quill accidentally convinced him to start all over again with makin a society.
@@tobios89p13 He scrapped it because he think he got rocket. He cannot start new one till he got rocket brain, when his pig soldier inform him rocket in pig possesion he then take off and goes boom boom.
I've never heard of Chukwudi Iwuji but he is a GREAT actor. I made a Rotten Tomatoes account JUST to write a review for Guardians 3 because he is SUCH a good villain. So many villains are either sympathetic/misguided or just caetoonishly evil, but this guy is scary because there ARE people that are cruel towards animals but his range of emotions and his voice and everything is FASCINATING. It also made me realize how great James Gunn is and got me to watch Peacemaker for the first time as well!😁
“The bile I feel in the back of my throat when I look at you is all the motivation I need” has gotta be one of the rawest villain lines I’ve ever heard, I cannot wait to see this guy tear shit up in the new movie
The theme is very cosmic and sinister. The way Chukwudi speaks and acts as the character High Evolutionary instead of himself in the panel, it's a perfect casting ngl.
Without the actual villain , stakes or coherent storyline with leads that are engaged. Thor was a clown show, Dr Strange was also unfocused. What's the villain without a true lead opposing him?
Back when I was in school nerds got picked on, now you see them grown up and becoming real life super heroes. It's no longer bad to be a nerd. Now it's AWESOME!!
Sadly this still happens, more than the half of the people are just posers that follow the trends and don't really know anything about all of this until is announced in the big screen.
Yes, but phases 1-3 when Downy showed up to Luther Vandross will likely never be matched. Phase 4 is so overwhelmingly empty. No momentum or anticipation for Avengers ... they need the Russo Bros back in the worst way.
@@SuperOmnicronsj44 no they don't, nobody was rushing to watch the grey man they are decent film makers but the talent at marvel had alot to do with bringing that to life you're confused, so just dont watch it or complain anymore, you don't like it great. 👍 they don't care about your one set of eyes or your money. You're one person we're a populace and we love marvel, our opinion is it's nice to see them doing something DIFFERENT.

Should be ok, since Gunn will be back to direct GOTG 3. Hoping Fantastic Four will not be a woke sh*t show .but after Wanda turned Mr Fantastic into spaghetti - I doubt it. They must lose the current agenda driven formula.
I feel like what remains of the first 3 phases will still end up being the better of the phase 4-6 movies. Lots of the characters created during the woke era of Marvel comics will just be ok. Hope I’m wrong tho. Phase 4 was a bit underwhelming for me, I understand that they are setting up storylines and what not but it was forgettable besides the Spider-Man’s and Doctor Strange movies. The shows were pretty good but overall just left me wanting more from phase 4. Can’t wait to see what surprising movies come out of Phase 6 besides X-Men.
Apparently Marvel and DC are supportive of each other’s movies. When James Gunn was hired for the Suicide Squad he said that Kevin Feige and the team gave him a gift basket or something.
I absolutely love his theme, beautiful and haunting piece of music. Chuk looks great as the High Evolutionary and I can’t wait to see him in the movie!
This music is awesome! It sounds like something you’d hear at a Cosmic funeral, which is fitting since some Guardians might die in this film. Not to mention it sounds so uncanny it sounds as well, it’s amazing 🤩
I was expecting him to look a bit like the comics, but different, I expected that he was going to have like a mask or something idk but he still looks badass and Can’t wait to see an insane villain like him in the MCU.

That's a terrible costume for the High Evolutionary. Not even close to his comic cosutme. It's not even the same colors. The reason Gunn had to keep repeating his name was because no one in the Hall knew who the hell he was supposed to be. Just a black man in a purple outfit. He could've been tiny Galactus for all we knew.
I definitely get an oil baron vibe off him. He sounds ready to CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES!! GRIND THEIR BONES INTO DIRT!! MAKE THEM REGRET THEY WERE EVER BORN!!
The High Evolutionary yesss very good but Kang The Conquerer worse its gonna be good when the newest Avengers comes out because That Will make Thanos a toddler because Kang The Conqueror is more powerful
TBH almost more than the half of the people that were in that room don't even know who he is LOL i am glad that James Gunn gave this role to Chuk Iwuji, i really liked him in Peacemaker.
Unfortunately on the soundtrack side Marvel movies doesn't really hit for me aside from a few exceptions and trailer edits (The tracks from trailers are not present on the actual film) But Phase 4 has some bangers like Loki's main theme and now this menancing theme, Straight out of a boss fight introduction on a video-game, Hopefully that's a actual OST from the movie. And Guardians of the Galaxy always had a huge musical presence, Being them Original tracks or not.

That theme song is badass, almost rivals thanos’s theme.
replayed it just for thissss it's magical , can not fathom hearing this in imax HQ
After the movie released, High Evolutionary's theme is definitely better than Thanos' one.

You can only hate him.

He knocked the role out of the park!
He absolutely did! Killed it ❤🔥

* *threatens the whole hall H* *

Now that’s a gigachad moment
That theme sounds terrifying. I hope its a serious villian portrayal.
Something tells me that he's gonna have a Loki feel
It's a Guardians of the Galaxy movie

GOTG Vol 3 is the best Guardians movie to date in my opinion.

Oh yeah I completely forgot he was in peacemaker he was great.
In the end, when he screams is exactly how he is in the movie.
I love that James Gunn mentioned Peace Maker. He's clearly still angry that Marvel fired him 😂
I don't think that's why he mentioned Peacemaker lol
@@lex_rodriguez I was just kidding man
Even kevin laughed lol
That's some EPIC score🔥
I've got geekbumps hearing that ost for the high Evo himself!
Funny yet terrifying. Are we returning to vintage delicious Marvel?
I think so
As long as Maria Alonso is there - NO. Just empty, and lifeless with lead stars being sidetracked by weak unknown actors and agenda forced directors.

@@NegativeReaper That's great! Cant wait to hear a more clean version of the theme song soon

Greatest MCU villain. Makes Thanos look sane.
Lol, this is like a Wrestlemania entrance.
With a serious marvel villain looking like a wrestler/power ranger villain lol
He was brilliant
Can't wait to watch him be evil, that score tho 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Took me back to 1980s WWF! I wonder if they sent him to the WWE Performace Center to learn how to be a mic guy and get all that heat from the crowd?
My man Chukwudi who was great as Murn!
Yeah
Chuk playing the High Evolutionary is something I wasn’t expecting but I’m very happy to see
Lmao shouting out peacemaker right in front of feigie lol love james
this the butterfly guy from Peacemaker lmao. loved him there
Wow chukudi I like him when he take a phone from a fans and just took selfie so cool and give it back 🥶
This is gonna be a solid villan for sure
He sounds great!!! I’m excited!!! Love the look too!!
Marvel will really miss James Gunn

This remind me when Loki show up at Comic con some years ago
Good on Chukwudi, getting in the makeup chair just to do a Comic Con panel
Kevin loved every second of this
Looking back at this after watching the movie, I didn’t realize at the time how spoilery this is.
I just love how he didn't break Kayfabe.
He’s phenomenal😭🙏🏽 loved him in GOTG3 and Peacemaker
It’s time to Adam to be finally be born
Let the theme be used in Vol. 3, along with his speech here.
There using John Murphy's theme here for the movie as well.
i love the title, he threatens the hall, lol. And he did , ive never heard people so happy to be threatened, thats was fun
That's an above Thanos level threat right there
Same as Kang is above of Thanos but they presented him as a joke. First impression is always important.
