Guardians of the Galaxyactor Dave Bautista , who plays the hulking , genuine - tending , sweet - natured Drax in theMCUfranchise and in this summer’sAvengers : Infinity War , ask note of the latest solo film being peddled by Warner Bros. and had his own idea . What about a whole movie built around the character of Drax ? Bautista twitch out his idea :

Guardiansdirector James Gunn was fast to get in on the play by replying that he ’s trying to get Bautista on the earphone :

Of course Bautista is only joke about the possibility of Drax mystify a standalone movie . Though Drax surely makes a good comedic sidekick in ensemble films likeGuardiansandInfinity War , he almost certainly would not work as a solo performer in a tarradiddle built around him . Then again , it ’s arguable that a Joker standalone movie wo n’t work out for much the same rationality . The two most memorable cinematic incarnations of Joker - Jack Nicholson inBatmanand Heath Ledger inThe Dark Knight- worked in large part because the fibre was oppose straight against Batman , fill his true function as a villain . It ’s fairly difficult to imagine Joker working in his own motion picture without a strong sub like Batman to go up against .

Arguably , the Jared Leto Joker standalone is another case of DC not really knowing what they require to do with their movies and just throwing ideas against the rampart to see what will stick . Meanwhile , theMCU just keeps chugging along , following their plan . A plan that almost certainly does not , and never will , include a Drax standalone moving picture ( apology to Bautista ) .
