11 May – Dave Bautista recently announced that he will no longer play Drax the Destroyer after "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3". The former pro-wrestler, who has played the character in five films since 2014 - including the upcoming "Thor: Love and Thunder", revealed that he will be donning the Drax special effects one last time for the upcoming James Gunn movie and be done with it. "Drax isn't going anywhere," he tweeted. "He just won't be played by this dude! By the time G3 comes out, I will be 54 years old for God's sake. I'm expecting everything to start sagging any second now."
Bautista also stated that he has no clue as to what his character would do in the third movie. "There was a script years ago that obviously is going to have to change because the whole direction of the Marvel universe has changed," he added.
