Avengers Infinity War: Drax for solo movie after Guardians Of The Galaxy 3?

Marvel actor Dave Bautista has joked on Twitter that his chances of getting his own caper as the popular character must be “astronomically high” after reports emerged of DC doing a film for The Joker.

When a journalist called the move a “bad idea”, Bautista quipped: “But on the bright side! Which I usually try to look at… if this can happen then the chances of me getting a Drax movie have got to be astronomically high!

“Like so high that I’m going to stop tweeting and sit by the phone and wait for @MarvelStudios to call!

“….any second now!”

James Gunn, the man behind the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, quipped: “Just tried calling.”

It may have been a joke, but fans are keen – Bautista’s tweet has had nearly 10,000 Likes.

And Walking Dead star Khary Payton joined in: “Man, I am all-in for @DaveBautista in a #Drax stand-alone movie. It could be 90 minutes of him delivering for @ubereats! I DON’T CARE! Make it happen, @MarvelStudios!! #whyisgamora.”

Drax was responsible for many of the laugh-out-loud moments in Infinity War, and will be back in Guardians of the Galaxy 3.

But how he will appear remains to be seen: he, like many of his co-stars, appeared to be killed off at the end of Infinity War.

However with Chris Pratt – another star who was seen meeting the same demise – confirming that he’ll be in Guardians 3, many have assumed they’ll somehow “come back to life” in Avengers 4.

Avengers: Infinity War is out now.
