Dave Bautista wants to be in both DC and Marvel's futures, but rules out a Drax return in the new Avengers movie: "The character ran its course"
The ex-Drax actor has spoken to both James Gunn and 𒐪th𒉰e Russos

Dave Bautista has once again ruled out a Drax return in the MCU – but remains surprisingly open to appearances either at Marvel or with his old Guardians of the Galaxy director 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn over at DC.
"Drax is completely closed to me. Unless James Gunn called me and asked if I would do something as Drax again, I just wouldn’t be interested," Bautista told , while also pointing to Gunn's new position as co-CEO of DC Stu♐dios as an underlying reason why that's next to impossible: "If James called me, which obviously is not gonna happen. He’s doing okay, he’s gone a different route."
Bautista continued, "But I do wanna be in that wor🎶ld, I’m a fan of that world, I’m a fan of comic books and that whole universe. Marvel, DC, I just wanna be in it. I made that known to James, I made that known to the Russo brothers."
While Drax is off the table, Bautista – who has long been fancast as several comic book favorites, including Batman villains Bane and Hugo Strange – reveals he has talked to both Gunn and The Russos ahead of both the beginning of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One and filming of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Doomsday and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Secret Wars.
"Personally, I talked to them, all of them, and t꧑old them, ‘Don’t count me out. If there’s a character that I’d be right for and that you want me for, man, I’d be totally open-minded to it.’ It’s just🌺 the Drax character ran its course.”
Bautista appeared as the literal-minded powerhouse Drax in all three Guardians movies, as well as its Holiday Special on Disney Plus. The character then made further appearances in Avengers: Infinity War, Av🔥engers: Endgame, and Thor: Love and Thunder.
Avengers: Doomsday, featuring Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, is set to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:commence filming very soon. According to , cameras start rolling on the latest Avengers movie in March – though its cast has been largely kept under wraps, with the exception of some of th💙e Thunderbolts and Fantastic Four team members. Maybe, just maybe, there's room for Dave Bautista too.
