This isn't the first time that Bautista has said the third movie will be his last time playing the character, with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the actor writing on Twit🐭ter last year: "Drax isn't going anywhere. He just won't be played by this dude! By the time [Guardians 3] comes out I'll be 54 yrs old for god's sake! I'm expecting everythꦯing ♍to start sagging any second now."
Guardians of the Galaxy 3 will close out the trilogy, but alongside the characters' extra appearance in Tho♏r 4, there's also The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. Both will 🦋come out before the third and final movie, though.

"It was a꧙n easy shot of Rocket seated, 1st with Sean Gunn, & then nothing there, & took everything in me not to bre🧔ak down sobbing on the spot."
