Guardians of the Galaxy: Dave Bautista ‘relieved’ Marvel role is ending

Dave Bautista says he feels “relief” that his role as Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy is coming to an end.

The professional wrestler-turned-actor is “grateful” to have played the character in the popular Marvel films, but says he doesn’t want it to be his “legacy”.

Bautista added the gruelling make-up process to transform him into Drax “was beating me down”.

Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 arrives in cinemas in May and is expected to be the last in the popular series.
