Meet Drax
Dave Bautista plays Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy. Driven by revenge, Drax becomes one of the unlikely allies caught up in Peter Quill’s confrontation with Ronan. The first film brings his personal motivation into a group whose members do not initially share a purpose.
Official source · Disney Movies ↗Listen for more than the punchline
Drax’s blunt delivery can make a scene funny, but give the quieter responses around it equal attention. Notice what he takes seriously, what he misunderstands and how his fellow travelers react. Following those exchanges lets his place in the group develop beyond the scale of the action.
