The Guardians of the Galaxy are a clear example of the power that Marvel Studios has in their hands. Before the premiere of the first film nobody knew this group of heroes who wander through space and just eight years later, they are celebrities who have been present in a good number of films of the cinematic universe. And surely you have them all in memory: Star Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket and Groot. Which one more strange and disturbed (in its own way).
A goodbye with the heart
The fact is that one of those members of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Drax the Destroyer, He has just said goodbye to the franchise, to which it does not seem that he will return if we look at the words he has spoken and posted on his official Instagram account. In that post, and accompanied by an image with some members of the team from the third installment (including director James Gunn), he states that “I still haven’t found the words. It ended so suddenly and I was on my next movie before I could take it all in. End of a trip that changed my life.
Indeed, everything points to the character of Drax the Destroyer will not continue in future projects in which the Guardians of the Galaxy are present, so another hero from the Marvel imaginary could take over. Something that should not be a problem because there are, both in the comics and in the cinematographic universe, enough alternatives so that we do not miss him. Well, deep down we will do it because the character’s dialogues entangling the conversations are one of those that are priceless.
It forced Disney to rectify
Dave Bautista is the actor behind the character of Drax. Professional wrestler since 1999, his physique clearly conditioned him at the time of having to get into the skin of a hero who for the movies significantly changed his biography. From being a human with enormous physical conditions, and who was possessed by a God to face a colossal threat, he became an alien whose family was killed by Ronan the Accuser, at which point his particular revenge begins.
But there is an important chapter in Dave Bautista’s passage through the role of Drax, and that is when Disney decides to cancel the director of the films of Guardians of the GalaxyaJames Gunn, for some unfortunate comments on Twitter many years ago, separating him from the Vol. 3 project. After a deathly silence from the industry for such a discretionary decision and with little justification so much time later, only the voice of the American actor denouncing what that for him it was an “unfair treatment” allowed the end of the trilogy to be closed by its true promoter.
That battle was undoubtedly won by Dave Bautista, although seen with perspective, it would be nice to know to what extent that battle that seems to have won in 2019 It really hasn’t taken its toll now in the decision to abandon a role that fit him like a real glove.
