One of Batista’s trademark roles will have its final appearance in Guardians Of The Galaxy 3.
While speaking to Jimmy Fallon, Batista talked about his acting career so far. Fallon brought up Guardians of The Galaxy and confirmed this would be the last time he would play Drax. He said he is surprised it was news. He signed for a trilogy and has played Drax seven times.
He said it’s hard to walk away but it’s time and a perfect ending. He said it’s similar to how he ended his pro wrestling career. It ended on a “storybook note” and he would never go back and “tarnish it.” Drax was the same way. He wouldn’t sign up to do Drax again “just to get a paycheck” and won’t do it.
