Dave Bautista has threatened to leave Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 if James Gunn’s script isn’t used.
Since Gunn’s firing, there has been a wide range of support for him, particularly from the cast who all signed for him to stay on. Dave Baustia who plays comic relief tragic hero Drax, however, has been particularly vocal about his disappointment in the situation.
Bautista said: “Nobody’s defending his tweets, but this was a smear campaign on a good man.
“I spoke to Chris Pratt the day after it happened and he’s a bit religious so he wanted time to pray and figure it out, but I was more like, ‘F**k this. This is bulls**t.’ James is one of the kindest, most decent people I’ve met.”
He then threatened to leave if Gunn does not return: “Where I’m at right now is that if [Marvel] don’t use that script, then I’m going to ask them to release me from my contract, cut me out or recast me.
“I’d be doing James a disservice if I didn’t.”
Unfortunately, reports suggest that it is unlikely that James Gunn will be rehired.
