Batista might set a new standard here but it generally doesn't work like that.
I thought I heard his voice but I thought he was talking off camera...
Big on Bautista for this. Disney looks to be sticking with their decision though.
Notice the forum you're on.
lol please. The Rock said the only reason he's not running for president because he's too busy the next couple of years.
I don't begrudge the guy for sticking to his multimillion dollar movie star career over a doomed presidential campaign, but it made pretty clear to me that his drive is in making money.
I get that, but sometimes noticing the bubble is still a reality check.
It's not legally his to begin with. It belongs to Marvel Studios. Only thing he's entitled to is credit for it.
It's my volunteer hall monitor job to worry about it
Cite your sources or don't say it
I'd say he's the kind of friend you'd want to have all the time, lol
r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers is my source. Now granted, take it with a HUGE grain of salt but I believe it's one of the top posts on the sub.
Love Dave lots and I fully believe him. In his brief acting career he's already made Disney, Marvel, Bond, and Blade Runner money. He's not doing a damn thing he doesn't want to do at this point, nor should he
That's what I mean how much do they have to change before they don't have to give him credit
I assume that's what they were asking, and the Guild rules are always so strange on that.
Though can also see Screenplay By X, based on a story by James Gunn credit.
Re-post from the other thread:
I dunno if I can watch a re-casted Drax. Dave is perfect in the role and I would be sad to see him go. GOTG & GOTG2 are among my favorites films in the MCU and this whole thing is just heart breaking honestly.

Yeah I know. But those Guardian movies bring in a bunch of money for Disney. 2nd movie made 863 million worldwide. Disney needs to fix this and the easiest way would be to hire Gunn. General audience doesn't care who the director is for a movie. But when Bautista phones in his role (and maybe other actors) for the 3rd film and the critics bash the movie for it, well those people might notice.
The script was done. Gunn finished it and turned it in the week before all this went down. It was intended to be his final film in the trilogy. This sucks.
I heard they are thinking of hiring the director of Thor Ragnarok. If so, bring in Thor as a full time member. In the comics it was Iron Man, then Venom. But i think Thor would be awesome on the series. Plus, the guardians lineup does change from time to time. They can live on with a new director, new writer, new cast members. It's not DOA. it wil jsut change, probably for the worst because Gunn had style.
My pick, hire Edgar Wright to do a subtle relaunch after part 3.

This is why Disney buying Fox is such a bad idea. What actor is going to stand up to a company that would pretty much be Hollywood?!
If Infinity War showed me anything, it's that Pratt, Bautista, and Saldana benefit greatly from Gunn's direction and him being out of the director's chair now doesn't really bode well. Especially if Disney drops his script. The last thing Guardians 3 needs is a Ron Howard-esque "play it safe" affair.
Also, y'all need to pull your heads out of your ass with all this vitriol towards Pratt. The dude believes in something, stop being so cynical and move the fuck on.

Won't be missed by me, honestly.
If he weren't a pro wrestler I would perhaps, believe his postering.

Literally just about to post this myself. He's done no less than Saldana, Diesel, Cooper etc and yet he's getting hammered for it. Plus we have no idea what's going on behind the scenes aside from his public comments on Twitter!
Probably because he has the most pull of anyone, acts like a "nice guy" who is "Christian and moral", yet won't stand up and defend someone that is practically the reason he is as big as he is now. Whereas Bautista, for as awesome as Drax is, has way less pull, yet is sticking his neck out.
It's like the rich guy in a Benz rolling down his window to say "God bless you!" to a homeless person, and the next guy driving by in a Civic gives him his last bit of cash in his wallet.
JMO.
Side note: Saldana could be written out of GOTG 3 and Bradley Cooper is just voicing a CGI character... I'd argue they have more to lose and again, not close to the pull that Pratt has.
I really hope that wouldn't be the case because everything he does in his life suggests he's a man of humbleness and morality when it comes down to it. As far as his (R) allegiance... I don't think he's that kind of Republican
Is this the thread right here?

Looks like it's from someone claiming to have been involved in preproduction.
Pretty proud to be a bigger fan of Drax than most other MCU dudes when I see stuff like this from the actor, lol.
You think Quill wasn't markedly different from Guardians 2? I posted my opinion in another thread, but Quill was way too childish, abrasive, and angry than in prior films. Hence why I believe Gunn has done a good job in directing them.
This whole thing has become such a shitshow and it's entirely Disney's fault. They blew this whole thing up way more than it was ever going to be for absolutely no reason. They're idiots and cowards.
I'm not saying that this is a great solution, but I'm sure a guy like Waititi would do fine and might even get Gunn's blessing.
They're still pissed at him for letting half the universe perish.
Oh and he's religious. That always seems to bring out the pitchforks

lol at anyone thinking Edgar Wright would touch this movie. The dude who bristled at Marvel pushing an outside agenda onto his film is going to join a flick concluding a three-movie arc, one that's already been set up as "launching" a huge expansion of the Cosmic MCU?
Sure, because that's not playing it safe. Look at the reversal Waititi brought to Ragnarok. I agree with you, he could be an excellent fill-in.
