Dave Bautista is grateful for the role that helped make him famous and is ready to work on some new muscles.
In an interview with GQ, Bautista talked about keeping the character of Drax in the Guardians of the Galaxy series for six films and a holiday special.
The actor said, “I am so grateful for Drax. I love him.”
“But there is relief [that it’s over]It wasn’t all fun. “It was difficult to play that role,” he added. I want to do something more dramatic.”
If he gets his way, that would include working more with Canadian filmmaker Denis Villeneuve, who worked on both Blade Runner 2049 and Dunes, which Bautista co-starred in.
“If I could be number one [on the callsheet] With Dennis, I’ll do it for free,” Bautista said. “I think that’s how I know how good I am. He brings out the best in me. He sees me in a different light and sees the performer I want to be.” Maybe that’s how I solve the puzzle.”
The actor recently starred as Duke Cody in the movie Glass Onion: A Knife Out Mystery.
