Dave Bautista wants to work with Guardians of the Galaxy co-stars

OHMYGOSSIP — Dave Bautista “really wants” to work with his ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ co-stars again.
The 55-year-old wrestler-turned-actor – who played Drax the Destroyer in all three movies in the series, as well as in other MCU films – previously worked outside of the franchise with Karen Gillan on ‘Stuber’ and appears alongside Pom Klementieff in latest movie ‘The Killer’s Game’ and is keen to look for other projects with his former castmates.
He told ComicBook.com about the possibility: “I hope so, yeah. That’s kind of my goal. I really want, because I’ve done another project outside of Guardians with Karen Gillan, and I’ve done work with Pom now.
“I would like to work with Chris [Pratt] and Zoe [Saldana] outside of the Marvel Universe, as well.”
With ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ director James Gunn now at the helm of DC Studios alongside Peter Safran, Dave admitted he would “of course” consider a role in one of the filmmaker’s new comic book films.
He said: “As I’ve said, and I’ve been very open to that. I guess it just has to be the right part. But I’m very open to it, and I love James and I would do anything to work with him.”
Dave’s latest comments come after he recently admitted his “dream role” was always supervillain Bane, but once he felt he was too old for the part, he’d jump at the chance to play Superman’s arch-nemesis Lex Luthor.
When ScreenRant asked the actor which DC characters he’d be open to portraying, he said: “For forever, it was Bane. When I was younger, I wanted to play Bane; it was like a dream role for me. And I got to a point in my career where I just felt like I was just too old to play Bane. I think the physicality of it, at this point in my career and my life, I just wouldn’t be able to do the character justice.
“And then I saw somewhere online that someone posted something of me playing Lex Luthor; an older Lex Luthor. I kind of became obsessed with that idea.”
Sadly for the star , DC boss James opted to cast ‘X-Men’ star Nicholas Hoult as the villain in ‘Superman’, but the actor has emphasised he’s still interested in joining the superhero cinematic universe.
He continued: “Obviously, they moved on from that idea, so at this point, I’m struggling to find my place in the DC universe. But I’d really be up for anything.”
