Dave Bautista Says He’ll Never Return to Drax Just to Collect a Marvel Paycheck: It Would ‘Tarnish’ a ‘Perfect’ Exit

“Yeah, it’s weird. I don’t know why it’s news,” Bautista said. “This is my seventh film as Drax. And my third ‘Guardians’ [movie]. It was like our trilogy. That’s kind of what we all signed up for, to do a trilogy. And I think this will be the last version of our ‘Guardians of the Galaxy.'”

For Bautista, writer-director James Gunn has crafted the “perfect exit” for his character. It’s so perfect in fact that Bautista said coming back to Marvel as Drax would “tarnish” the character. Not even a big Marvel paycheck would warrant ruining Drax’s perfect ending. “We all had those perfect character arcs and such a storybook ending,” Bautista said. “I constantly relate it to the way I ended my wrestling career. I ended it on a storybook note. And I would never go back and tarnish that. And it’s the same with this.”

“With Drax, I just got to end the perfect way,” he added. “And I would never sign up for another job as Drax just to get a paycheck. I would tarnish that [perfect ending], and I won’t do it.”in January that he was excited to leave Drax behind and start flexing more mature acting muscles. As the actor put it: “It wasn’t all pleasant. It was hard playing that role. The makeup process was beating me down.

Next up for Bautista is M. Night Shyamalan’s “Knock at the Cabin” and an expanded supporting role in Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune Part II” .

Lame. He was such a good fit for the role.

Sooooo … he’s gonna die?! 😭

Sad they wouldn't let us enjoy the movie. RIP Drax!
