Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 introduces fans to the MCU’s newest villain, the High Evolutionary, portrayed by Chukwudi Iwuji. However, fans are expressing their hatred for this character after early press screenings.
Who Is High Evolutionary?
High Evolutionary is a geneticist who aims to create the perfect world for himself. He is also heavily tied to Rocket Raccoon’s origin story, being revealed as Rocket’s creator and torturer in the upcoming movie.
Why Do Fans Hate High Evolutionary?
Compared to other multi-dimensional Marvel villains like Thanos, Killmonger, or Namor, fans find High Evolutionary easy to hate. He is just a bad guy who wants things his way and is willing to kill anything in his way. Critics have called him “the most detestable, despicable piece of shit villain ever” and “SO HATE-ABLE.”
Chukwudi Iwuji’s Performance
Iwuji’s performance has been praised as “explosive” by early critics, and director James Gunn has called him the best actor he has ever worked with. Iwuji’s portrayal of High Evolutionary has been described as “killer” and “absolutely hated” by fans.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is set to release on May 5, and fans are gearing up to hate High Evolutionary’s entire being. The character’s story is closely connected to Rocket Raccoon, who is said to be the emotional core of this threequel, making for a highly anticipated film.
