“#Dave Bautista Thinks Marvel Should Consider a Drax Reboot \u2013 \/Film<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dave Bautista<\/strong> is on a roll. The former wrestler has carved out a niche in the film industry \u2013 if you need a soulful, funny performer who also looks like he can crush your skull with a single hand, he\u2019s your man. And while he\u2019ll soon be matching wits with Daniel Craig in Knives Out 2<\/em> and conquering planets in Dune<\/em>, it\u2019s tough to talk to Bautista without bringing up the character that made his newfound acting career possible: Drax the Destroyer in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.<\/p>\n

I recently spoke with Bautista about his work in Zack Snyder\u2019s ultra-gory horror heist movie Army of the Dead<\/em>, in which he plays the the stoic leader of a band of zombie-killing mercs, but eventually, our conversation turned back to Drax. It had to. After all, he\u2019s previously said that this will be his final time playing the literal-minded alien warrior. And he\u2019s said that Marvel dropped the ball with one aspect of the character that he wishes was further explored.<\/p>\n

But he has a solution to that problem: wait a few years, recast Drax, and go on that journey with a new actor.
\n
\nIn conversation, Bautista is thoughtful and soft-spoken, but also honest. When asked about the Guardians of the Galaxy<\/em><\/strong> movies<\/a> and his work with writer\/director James Gunn, he\u2019s respectful\u2026but also upfront that Drax\u2019s transition toward being a comedic character took the \u201cdestroyer\u201d out of Drax the Destroyer:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s weird, because sometimes you\u2019ll hear me say, \u2018I wish they dove into the Destroyer side,\u2019 which originally I thought they were going to do in Guardians 2<\/i>. Because the Marvel Universe still hasn\u2019t seen Drax the Destroyer. But he tapp<\/a>ed into the comedic side, and that\u2019s what people fell in love with, so we just dove into it more. I was just very fortunate to be in that kind of perfect storm of having this huge film and having this great, rich character and having James Gunn write and direct for this character.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

But when asked if he hopes the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3<\/em><\/strong> will rectify this and allow this side of Drax to thrive, he\u2019s hesitant. \u201cYou know, I have to be honest with you,\u201d he says. \u201cThe honest answer is no. I think people are in love with the characters the way they are, and I just want to conclude this journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

So Bautista has a solution that he thinks will honor the character \u2013 revisit the character down the road, recast Drax with another actor, and make a movie that\u2019s all about this unexplored angle:<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0But you know what I really wish for? I really hope that going forward they will reboot Drax, and I think Drax the Destroyer could be a standalone film. I think it could be something new and something different. Drax has such a great story, and I think time would have to go by and people would have to be willing to accept a new story, a new character, a new Drax the Destroyer. But I hope someday that they just recast it and reboot just Drax the Destroyer and focus on that story, because it\u2019s a great story. I mean, there\u2019s so much emotion there, so much rage. I still think there could be moments of humor: it\u2019s just funny that Drax takes everything literally. [laughs] But also I think the films can\u2019t be too dark in tone. They have to have moments of levity, and I think Drax would be that perfect character. I hope they reboot him someday.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Right now, it\u2019s hard to imagine anyone else playing Drax, but Bautista seems aware that the Marvel characters are often bigger than their actors. If James Bond and Captain Kirk can be recast, why not Drax? He seems happy to have played a part in bringing the character to life, and is more than happy for Drax to live beyond him:<\/p>\n

Obviously, I can take credit for my performance. [Laughs] But James writes for Drax \u2013 he just wouldn\u2019t be the same character if James wasn\u2019t writing for him. Even the stuff that I did in, like, Infinity War<\/i> \u2013 all the Drax lines were written by James. Drax is James\u2019 muse. I think James wants to amuse himself with Drax, so he writes this stuff that\u2019s just brilliant. I\u2019ll get Drax quotes back for the rest of my life. But I can\u2019t take credit for any of that. But it did \u2013\u00a0I think through the first film, I was still finding the character. James was helping me find the character. And I think by the second film, we just knew who Drax was. James knew what my strengths were, and he wrote for those strengths.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Bautista can be seen next in Army of the Dead<\/em>, which hits theaters on May 14, 2021<\/strong> and streams on Netflix starting May 21, 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
