Dave Bautista Says He Would Only Play Drax Again On One Condition

In an interview with ComicBook.com, Dave Bautista said that he was done with playing Drax and would only return to the role on one condition. That condition would be if James Gunn were in control. That is unlikely, as Gunn currently heads up the DCU.

He said: “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. If James called me, which obviously is not gonna happen. He’s doing okay, he’s gone a different route. But I do wanna be in that world, 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. Personally, I talked to them, all of them, and told 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.“
