Dave Bautista has once again ruled out a Drax return in the MCU – but remains surprisingly open to appearances either at Marvel or with his old Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn over at DC.

Dave Bautista would like to get back into the superhero/supervillain game… just not that one.

Dave Bautista is desperate for another Marvel or DC superhero role. The actor’s interest comes at a time when superhero films continue to dominate the global box office, with comic book adaptations generating over $30 billion worldwide since 2008.

Dave Bautista recently told ComicBook.com that he has already contacted James Gunn (who’s heading up DC Studios after directing Bautista in three “Guardians of the Galaxy” movies at Marvel) and the Russo Brothers (the Marvel stalwarts who directed him in “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Endgame”) to express interest in playing a new comic book superhero

Doomsday despite previous comments about not reprising his role as Drax. Bautista expressed interest in playing a character in the superhero genre but mentioned he won't return as Drax unless James Gunn is involved.
