The important thing is that Bautista showed great comedic acting chops in the first Guardians movie and will bring more of the same hilarity in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, regardless of how his character is written.
If you were a big fan of Bautista’s performance, Gunn has good news for you: Drax is poised to steal the show in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
Guardians of the Galaxy is one of the most popular Marvel movies for many reasons, but arguably its biggest strength is its sense of humor.
One of Guardians’ most pleasant surprises was the hilarious performance of Dave Bautista as the immensely powerful yet dim-witted, metaphorically-challenged Drax the Destroyer.
