James Gunn is currently working on the long-awaited Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which is expected to go into production soon. The movie will see the return of all the Guardians of the Galaxy stars, including Dave Bautista as Drax. Recently, Bautista has been very candid about his experience with Marvel, admitting that he’s in a “weird place” with playing Drax. Now that he’s 52-years-old, he feels he’s past the point of wanting to play a character with his shirt off all of the time. During a recent interview, Bautista shared that the role of Drax changed his life, but admitted he thinks Marvel “dropped the ball” on Drax’s story. However, it’s clear Bautista loves working with Gunn, so it’s no surprise he’s returning to Marvel once again. The love is clearly mutual as Gunn often takes to social media to praise the wrestler-turned-actor. In fact, he shared some interesting information about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Bautista on Twitter today.
In the test screenings of Volume 2, Drax was the most popular character, edging out Baby Groot. https://t.co/JvqUzURN0Z
