Dave Bautista, the interpreter of Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy, argues that “all things must come to an end”

Already James Gunn, the director of the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, a few days ago had evoked in the course of an interview a sense of definitive ending around the third chapter of the saga, claiming (or threatening) that fans would see for the last time that team of Guardians. 

Now it’s the turn of Dave Bautista, the strong interpreter of Drax the Destroyer, who expressed himself in a very similar way during a chat for the ComicBook podcast “Phase Zero“. Here are his words.

“It’s our third film, we’ll stop it. It was a nice trip with some bumps. I can not wait. The cast and of course the director, James Gunn, are like family to me. With these films, my acting career practically began. A circle is about to come full circle and I can’t wait to do it. It’s a bittersweet feeling. I mean, I’ve been working on the Guardians since 2013. And when [the third chapter] comes out it’s going to be 2023, so it’s a 10-year journey. You know, all things have to come to an end. And I can’t wait to do it alongside my friends and family “.

A few months ago Dave Bautista had stated that with the third chapter of the Guardians of the Galaxy he would have abandoned the role of Drax (also thanks to a no longer very young age), but that the character could have been played by another actor. A possibility that director James Gunn himself had firmly opposed, arguing that no one could replace Bautista. 

Of course, before the film arrives in theaters (the release is scheduled for May 2023), fans will be able to see Drax the Destroyer both in Thor: Love and Thunder – which will be released this year, on July 8 – and in the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, due out on Disney + later this year.
