10 Actors Who Are Done Playing These Characters
1. Dave Bautista - Drax The Destroyer
Had it not been for a certain Guardian of the Galaxy, perhaps Dave Bautista wouldn't have gone on to become arguably the most acclaimed wrestler-turned-actor of all time.
Thankfully, though, the former WWE star was able to land the role of Drax the Destroyer and this gift of an MCU turn opened the door for countless other opportunities, with the actor soon excelling in everything from Blade Runner 2049 to Dune.
But, with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 right around the corner, Bautista now looks to be very much done with his deadpan hero as he braces himself for the Drax-less next chapter in his exciting career.
Speaking to GQ in January, the long-time MCU sensation would admit that while he loves and is grateful for what ultimately became a "silly performance", not all of the process was "pleasant" and it was something of a "relief" when his nine-year run as Drax reached its end with the latest Guardians outing.
Big Dave is now eyeing up "more dramatic stuff" in the coming years, and you wouldn't put it past him knocking it out of the park in everything from Knock at the Cabin to Dune: Part II in 2023 alone.
The future looks bright for this Zargnut-chomping Destroyer...
