50 Greatest Performances In Marvel Movies
30. Dave Batista - Drax
If Guardians of the Galaxy was the surprise hit of 2014, Dave Bautista's portrayal of Drax in the movie was the surprise performance.
The former WWE wrestling superstar had appeared in a handful of movies prior to Guardians of the Galaxy - most notably Riddick - but this was his most prominent and highest-profile to date and he was fantastic. While the physical side of his character came naturally, nobody expected the character's wit and conveyance of Drax's inability to see past the literal to be so wonderful.
