Dave Bautista Bids Goodbye to Guardians of the Galaxy
As per the latest feature from GQ, Dave Bautista opened up about playing Drax in James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy while also being at peace with the idea that it’s his final portrayal of the character.
While admitting that he’s grateful to have played the character, Bautista pointed out that there’s a “relief” that it’s over, noting that “it wasn’t all pleasant” due to the makeup process.
Bautista also said he doesn’t know if he wants Drax to be his legacy. Instead, the former WWE champion shared that he wants “to do more dramatic stuff:”
“I’m so grateful for Drax. I love him. But there’s a relief [that it’s over]. It wasn’t all pleasant. It was hard playing that role. The makeup process was beating me down. And I just don’t know if I want Drax to be my legacy – it’s a silly performance, and I want to do more dramatic stuff.”
