Guardians of the Galaxy 4: Dave Bautista on if He’ll Return as Drax

by

Dave Bautista has expressed interest in reprising his role as Drax the Destroyer in a potential future installment of Guardians of the Galaxy, specifically Guardians of the Galaxy 4. The third film from Marvel Studios’ Guardians series, released in 2023, saw the team disbanding and going their separate ways, leaving fans unsure if a fourth part will ever materialize, given that director James Gunn has since accepted a position as co-CEO at DC.

Dave Bautista says he’ll return for Guardians of the Galaxy 4 on one condition

In a recent interview, the actor who played The Knock at the Cabin disclosed details about his potential role as Drax in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s future projects.

During an interview with ComicBook to publicize his upcoming action film, The Lost Lands, Dave Bautista reminisced about his experience playing Drax. He also hinted at his potential return in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 4, stating, “Drax is a character I’ve grown close to. If James Gunn were to reach out and ask me to reprise my role as Drax, I doubt my interest would be piqued.

Bautista expressed that his comeback in GOTG 4 would only occur if James Gunn resumes directing, but he mentioned this might not happen, as Gunn is now working at DC as co-CEO. He emphasized that Gunn has taken a new path in his career.

In a recent statement, the actor from Army of the Dead shared his desire to explore new characters in the future. He stated, “I’d love to dive into other roles within Marvel or DC universes. I’m an admirer of their worlds, comic books, and everything associated with them. Whether it’s Marvel, DC, I yearn to be a part of that realm.

In other words, Dave Bautista openly expressed his willingness to consider any role that either Gunn or the Russo Brothers might propose for him after discussing potential characters with them.

2023 saw Dave Bautista expressing his retirement from portraying Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. He expressed, “I’m incredibly thankful for Drax and I adore him. However, there’s a sense of freedom [now that it’s done].
