10 Things You Need To Know About Guardians Of The Galaxy

5. It Made Batista Cry

Dave Bautista reportedly broke down crying when he found out he had been cast as Drax and it€™s understandable why. As his wrestling persona Batista, Dave Bautista didn€™t have the best start to the year. What should have been a triumphant return to the WWE with him winning the Royal Rumble in January and headlining WrestleMania 30; €˜€™The Animal Batista€™€™ had to endure chants of €˜€™Bootista€™€™ as wrestling fans rejected the idea of him just walking in and taking the top spot from other wrestlers who worked all year for the chance. He even caused CM Punk to quit out of frustration. Fast-forward to the release of Guardians of the Galaxy and critics are calling Dave Bautista the breakthrough star in the film as Drax The Destroyer. With his new found acting ability and comic timing, he surprised everyone who were used to his wooden promos as a wrestler. Jason Momoa turned down the role and Bautista was seen as the second choice but to show people they were wrong about him, he booked himself in for acting classes and proved the naysayers wrong. His future looks bright in Hollywood and he can confidently put his disastrous WWE return behind him.
