For his part, even Drax actor Dave Bautista has also indicated that the third installment of the franchise will be his final outing as Drax, although he didn’t rule out the possibility of someone else playing the character at a point in the coming future. Still, James Gunn has earlier revealed that no one could ever replace Bautista as Drax the Destroyer.
