Who Plays Drax In Guardians of the Galaxy? Dave Bautista portrays Drax the Destroyer, a highly skilled warrior and a member of the Guardians whose family was slaughtered by Ronan the Accuser under Thanos’ instructions. Bautista’s portrayal of Drax has garnered significant praise, and he has appeared in multiple Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films.
Bautista’s Departure from the Role
In an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Bautista confirmed that “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” would be his final appearance as Drax. He expressed gratitude for the role but also relief at concluding his time with the character, citing the long hours needed for makeup and his desire to pursue more dramatic acting roles. Bautista noted that the film would provide a “perfect exit” for Drax and the rest of the Guardians.
The Guardians of the Galaxy Trilogy
According to Bautista, the cast signed up for a trilogy, and “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” will be the last version of the current Guardians team. Bautista likened his departure from the role to his retirement from WWE, stating that he would never return to the role and “tarnish” what he has accomplished.
The Future of the Guardians of the Galaxy Franchise
“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” is set to premiere in theaters on May 5, 2023. While it marks the end of the current Guardians team’s story arc, the future of the franchise remains open. However, Dave Bautista’s Drax will not be a part of the journey, as the actor moves on to explore other opportunities and roles in his acting career.
