Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista wants a solo Drax movie to be made, even if he doesn’t end up starring in it.
With all the chaos regarding James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 dismissal over his unbecoming tweets, Dave Bautista (Drax) has perhaps been the most vocal actor in the franchise during the aftermath.
Bautista has stated that he isn’t enthused about the prospect of working for Marvel without Gunn but now he has come out in support of a Drax solo movie, telling MTV International about his love for the character and his story:
“I think it’s a beautiful story and I think it’s been lost and overlooked a little bit. It’s a beautiful and heartbreaking emotional thing to know where that love for his family and that heartbreak over his family being lost and murdered, where it comes from I think. I really pushed and fought for the Drax standalone film but I don’t think it’s ever going to happen. I really wish they would because I think there’s a story to be told there and I think the fans would really love to see that story, even if it’s not me portraying Drax, I just think it is an interesting story to tell.”
