Dave Bautista says Marvel "dropped the ball" on Drax's backstory
"Drax gets his🅘 ass kicked ♋more than any other Marvel character"

Dave Bautistꦫa, who plays Drax in the MCU, has offered his thoughts on Marvel's treatment of his charact🌟er.
"That role changed the trajectory of my life. It's always going to be special to me. Now I'm four films in... I really wish that they would have invested more in Drax, personally," he told . "Because I think Drax has more of a story to tell and I think Drax has got a really interesting backstory which they dropped the ball on. And that's no dig on Marvel. They had their slate, and I know what they're focused on, and that's what they have slated out. But man, I think they really missed the ball on Drax. He's got such a great ba🐎ckstory."
Bautista added: "Selfishly, as a performer, that would have given me the opportunity to show different sides of Drax, emotionally. And physically as well." He then commented that "Drax gets his ass kicked more than any other Marvel character" despite his "terrifying" look, and said "the whole 'Destroyer' thing, they just threw that ou𓃲t the window." Bautista explained he thinks the "comedic side" to his character was so popular that "they just tapped into that, then they tapped into it more, then they just really dug a hole in 💞it."
The actor 🌞continued: "We missed a huge boat on that character and I don't think it'll ever come back around. But I'm really just looking forward to finishing out this whole journey with the cast."
