It wasn’t always pleasant. In fact, it was quite exhausting to play the role. The makeup process was killing me. And I’m not sure if I want that Drax will be my legacy

In addition, Bautista expressed disappointment with the way Marvel handled Drax. In his opinion it was The figure’s potential not exhausted.
I really wish they had invested more in Drax. I think there’s a lot more to tell with Drax. He has a very exciting backstorybut they didn’t want to explore them.
Surely this frustration is also a reason why Bautista after Guardians of the Galaxy 3 turning his back on the MCU. However, there was no bad blood.
This isn’t meant to be a dig at Marvel. They have set their plan and I understand what they have focused on. Still, I have a feeling that with Drax she has a great opportunity missed to have.
Rather than always playing the planned sidekick, Bautista wanted to explore more of Drax’s emotional side, thereby making the character more complex and multi-faceted. We’ll find out how the story of Drax and the Guardians comes to an end May 3, 2023when the third installment in the Marvel series hits theaters.
