Dave Bautista gets vocal about him playing Drax again after the firing of James Gunn…

It looks like the whole James Gunn debacle could have more ramifications…

Actor Dave Bautista, Drax in the MCU, has become rather vocal about his support for Gunn which, of course, is admirable, but it seems that he’s prepared to put his own future in the MCU on the line for the director.

So it all started on Sunday when Bautista said he would make the third movie but only because he was contracted to:

I will do what Im legally obligated to do but @Guardians without @JamesGunn is not what I signed up for. GOTG w/o @JamesGunn just isn’t GOTG. Its also pretty nauseating to work for someone who’d empower a smear campaign by fascists #cybernazis . That’s just how I feel https://t.co/Ym4FwruVDu

But now Bautista has been pushing the issue even more saying that, if Disney don’t go ahead with the script that Gunn turned in to Disney before his firing, he’ll quit:

“Nobody’s defending his tweets, but this was a smear campaign on a good man,” Bautista said.

“I spoke to Chris Pratt the day after it happened and he’s a bit religious so he wanted time to pray and figure it out, but I was more like: f*ck this. This is bullshit. James is one of the kindest, most decent people I’ve met.”

Bautista goes on to say that if Disney decide to move a different direction with the Guardians then he’ll be asking to leave: “Where I’m at right now is that if [Marvel] don’t use that script, then I’m going to ask them to release me from my contract, cut me out or recast me.

“I’d be doing James a disservice if I didn’t.”

So there you have it… honestly, at this stage it wouldn’t surprise us if we never saw Drax in the MCU again. We’re guessing Disney won’t stand for Bautista being this vocal… honestly, we like Drax and we want to see him in the MCU again but we think this could very easily be the end of his galaxy travels.
