Dave Bautista played the fun and deadly Drax in three Guardians of the Galaxy movies, but it is not likely he will come back for a fourth film if one happens. There is one person who could bring the actor back into the Guardians universe, and it’s the former movies’ director and current co-head of DC Studios… James Gunn.

Dave Bautista recently commented on the possibility of his return as Drax the Destroyer in Guardians of the Galaxy 4 in the future. In 2023, Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy 3 ended with the team splitting up and everyone going their separate ways.

Dave Bautista has once again ruled out a Drax return in the MCU – but remains surprisingly open to appearances either at Marvel or with his old Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn over at DC.
