Avengers 4: Every Character Confirmed So Far
4. Drax
Confirmed By: Dave Bautista
Even without Saldana's slightly vague confirmation of all of the Guardians coming back for Avengers 4, Dave Bautista - the unlikely breakout star of Guardians Vol 2 thanks to his excellent comedic work - let his own involvement slip anyway.
There's no way he wouldn't be involved since Drax is one of only a handful of characters in the MCU who has both past experience with Thanos and personal beef with him - but it's nice to get confirmation. Even though he died in Infinity War.
The actor responded to Josh Brolin's impressive physique (after he got into shape to play Cable in Deadpool 2), by talking to THR's Heat Vision about his inferiority complex inspired by his new look. It's all going very competitive:
"I am known for being in shape and being a big guy, and he actually made me self-conscious! I swear to God, I promised him that in November, when I do some work on [Avengers] 4, I told him, 'I will be in better shape for that because you make me self-conscious, f*cker!'"
