[@utkarshsarkar839]

Dave is a great guy honestly, so great to see him doing amazing in films of this scale.

[@vicdamon3551]

Frank Castle hell yeah. He is awesome. Love him having success in movies

[@davisjackson6425]

Frank Castle He is really lining up to be the next Dwayne the Rock Johnson.

[@squidtron-ck9rq]

Frank Castle speaking of, can't wait to see your tv show

[@dmar3651]

we worked his butt off to get this far. he earned it

[@djprofessork5332]

He's done the best (acting skill wise) and is the most believable than any other pro wrestler whose crossed over to acting For Real. The Rock, Cena,. cough cough Hogan...

[@AspiringAbogado]

If Drax doesn't give Thanos a Batista Bomb I'm out

[@Mr_Death031]

TheMHG09 that would be epic lol or if he gives thanos a spinebuster

[@chaosatbay5967]

rockero031 or a spear

[@zicc616]

TheMHG09 lol it's not like he can lift fucking Thanos 😂

[@PuffySofty]

Maybe Thanos will give Drax a Batista Bomb into the core of the earth.

[@Mr_Death031]

Imagine this...... drax gains some momentum against thanos And takes him down with a spinebuster And then he does the thumbs down thing signaling the Batista bomb you know? And out of nowhere Jim Ross starts commenting: BATISTA BOMB!!!!! HE GOT THE BATISTA BOMB!!!!! MY GOD WHAT IMPACT!! DRAX WITH THE COVER 1,2- AND THANOS KICKS OUT!!! DRAX CANT BELIEVE IT!!

[@brndn206]

When I read the title I was like "Really? Drax and Stark?", but now when I think of it, with Starks sarcasm and jokes and with Drax's taking everything too literal. Amazing

[@93King]

Brandon.thelegend Yeah I was thinking the same thing. How sarcastic and intellectual Tony is would have Drax's head spinning.

[@chrisa8863]

"why would I put my finger on his throat" 😆

[@PokeymanTrainer]

Why's gamora?

[@bobsmith-to7qv]

I feel like Dave Bautista was that big guy who hung out with the nerds in school and protected them from bullies. Love this guy

[@Buzz32123]

plot twist: he was your bully

[@thechad685]

bob smith nope, he was one... but after school finished he decided he wasn't going to take that kind of crap anymore. So he got buff and got into wrestling

[@bobsmith-to7qv]

+Buzz 32123 that would suck! lol

[@bobsmith-to7qv]

+The Chad I could see that too!

[@jnightmare0]

@@thechad685 he didn't get into wrestling until his 30s though but yh he did get bullied unfortunately

[@nightrider3067]

Dude is so chill

[@s0lgewds0lgewd16]

ok so one Bernard is just a troll not gonna acknowledge that waste of space more than that. But 2 night rider man you are soooo right!!!! I never thought he was gonna be such a chill down to earth guy with legit acting chops. really cool surprise i hope he continues to be successful along with the movies

[@s0lgewds0lgewd16]

hahahahaha lmao you must have a sad life to just go around and talk shit to strangers lol. prolly some sad little 14 year old waiting for his balls to drop hoping his mommy doesn't read his messages over his should lmao. and if your older than that its even sadder cause that means your supposed to be an adult but your life has no meaning or purpose so you have to vent on a keyboard lol. keep wasting your time its cool man i have a day off lol

[@MichaelMyers9092_]

Night Rider WWE screwed him.

[@sergeantrhymespitter]

Lol exactly opposite of drax

[@4tunenocopyrightmusic881]

*Big Dave's come a long way but he's still kicking ass. Such a likeable guy too!*

[@Aleph-Noll]

he seems cool in real life yeah

[@morningstar3188]

Frost The Hobidon actually in the comics, certain iterations of drax are more powerful than thanos. Obviously he doesn't have that kinda power in the mcu, but his whole purpose is to kill thanos. Anything can happen with Marvel. It'll be exciting to see for sure.

[@OriginalPuro]

"But he's still kicking ass".. Did you expect him to stop kicking ass just because he "has come a long way"? I don't get it.

[@deg1903]

Take ass, kick names.

[@jonnyTT6]

Dave Bautista broke the curse of "Wrestler actors" since Dwayne Johnson. So proud of dude and where he is at right now.

[@TheMegaGamingKid]

John Cena looks like he'll go on to be a big actor, some great roles recently

[@mkhuzaim900]

Sam Perkins I doubt you rarely can see him

[@fakudan]

+Reverse Cisco No. Dwayne Johnson is Black Adam in the movies. This is confirmed.

[@ravagethelegend6217]

Lets be honest bautista only became successful because of the character he was playing suited him because buff, naive and funny but credit where credit is due he pulled it off better than I expected

[@TheUncleDaddy]

Hard to Kidnap it takes time to gain success. Cena managed to achieve it in the WWE, and has a chance to do so in Hollywood (The Rock took a while to be a huge movie star after all)

[@tombombadilofficial]

Tony Stark's witty sarcasms vs Drax The Destroyer's naive personality and inability to understand sarcasm. This is gonna be interesting

[@ursaminor9780]

Tom Bombadil Sounds like the conditions for some of the best comedy in a superhero movie, or the worst.

[@CGCentralHD]

Tom Bombadil the equivalent to the unstoppable force meets the immovable object

[@lagunacinematics]

and that it was my friend

[@guitarman0365]

I just want to see how everyone will react to rocket and groot. Rocket, Tony, Starlord, ant man...so many comedic egos in one movie I don't know how they will do it.

[@oscarhendry-taylor5852]

guitarman0365 I can't wait for rocket and ant man or rocket and anyone just rocket

[@thorodinson3443]

Oscar Hendry-taylor Rocket and Bucky

[@Reaper-rd1ku]

that's why there making part 1 and 2

[@yotedyo]

Dustin Richards lmao that's not why there's 2 parts. They can fit a lot of comedic characters if they give them enough time on the screen.

[@mattyg4682]

How the fuck did you forget Spider-Man, out of every comedic hero you forgot Spider-Man. How in the father fucking world you forgot that I mean wtf, how the fuck does somebody forget fucking Spider-Man fuck me. I feel pissed and ashamed to even write on this comment.

[@bubbashore6450]

That was a great, heartfelt, interview. I really admire Dave Bautista.

[@vicdamon3551]

I freaking love this guy

[@clubpenguinboyish]

bruh when i was a kid i frickin loved dave in the wwe batista bombing people and i was so hyped whenever he came on. now, im even more hyped and so happy seeing him progress in his acting career and for it to be with my most favorite thing in the world, the mcu, is just the best wish i could've ever asked for.

[@jnightmare0]

Right

[@brandonlee1947]

I realize how hilarious drax is responding to Quill, i can't wait to see his response to Tony Stark, Drax will steal the show again.

[@_titan83]

I heard when he got the role for drax he broke down in tears and I find that wonderful

[@ardentdfender4116]

Humble actor, awesome dude.

[@javierduran1390]

Drax better get a power up. I really want to see him have a badass moment against Thanos.

[@appal5052]

Javier Duran He's gonna Batista Bomb him lol

[@newmill]

I just want him to be resurrected then his as powerful as hulk strength level.

[@joeyp9524]

Javier Duran yea he needs to avenge his family

[@javierduran1390]

NamJung Stole The Jams highkey I am really hoping that happens

[@MINDxWORM]

Javier Duran I'm pretty sure he defeated Thanos in one of the comics.

[@scottybae9455]

Dave seems like such a down to earth individual.

[@shayekhurrahman4723]

Scottybae yup...love his as a person

[@Tryhardblackguy]

"How are you an Iron Man if you are a man made out of flesh in a Iron Suit?"

[@JnEricsonx]

Oh GOD please this be a line.

[@revolutionarycinemaproduct6612]

thats such a perfect line wow 👌👌👌

[@DigitalDisciple4555]

Drax is one of my most anticipated parts of infinity war, the laughs from him are going to be priceless. Dave's gunna steal it.

[@patrickragland1032]

Tryhardblackguy One moment you're on every other Nintendo video, the next moment you're on Marvel's part in the D23 Expo. Are you a sponsor or something?

[@milatarsugar9525]

Perfect

[@SSJ4Ty]

I grew up idolizing Dave, still do in a lot of ways. He's the reason I got into lifting & tattoos. And to see him come this far is incredible. Always kind & humble.

[@everybodylieshm]

Dave is such a likable guy, seems really chill to just hang out with and have a conversation.

[@herson7171]

I love his character. I like that Bautista is getting a lot of work in Hollywood.

[@ryanoseguera1207]

I'm picturing Tony teasing Drax like he did to Thor in Avengers 1 who agrees?

[@DaveH82]

The whole Shakespeare in the park scene? Yes!

[@kakitoceng]

Ultimate Fanboy dont get too excited fanboy

[@brightblackgrouse6236]

Dylan Palmer gay? its more gay to be "excited" for a man to tease another. fuck outta here

[@solgalex728]

Ultimate Fanboy "Does mother know thou wear her drapes?"

[@obsausman7948]

Happy for his success

[@Thechewgar]

I hope to be hearing more nipple jokes in infinity war.

[@junkmansobbligato]

Dave seems like the sweetest guy

[@snowdjagha]

Drax definitely became my favorite Guardian. His character in Gunn's movies is delightful and I hope that carries over to the Russo's take on him.

[@TomClacy5871]

Cant believe Batista is in a bigger movie than The Rock, who is the bigger well-known wrestler/actor

[@CatNact]

Well if the Rock would be more selective about his movies he could have been, but at this point The Rock is so saturated by taking every damned movie script that they throw at him just to make a buck which shows he is not a true actor. Seriously? The tooth fairy, jumanji 2, Baywatch, etc... he is fast tracking his career to the 'B' movie genre.

[@wcthesecret]

CatNact he's playing black Adam in shazam

[@Aleph-Noll]

the other guy already said B movie genre, that includes DC

[@appal5052]

CatNact Couldn't agree more. Every time I see a new trailer with him in it, I just say,"really?"

[@wcthesecret]

Dexter White ...how does the rock have an ego?

[@talesfromthecrib1093]

I honestly just wanna see Rocket react to the Iron Man suit. He'll either be impressed, or SUPER SUPER unimpressed. If I recall in the books, he wasn't too blown away XD

[@Mr_Death031]

Tales From The Crib either that or he'll want to steal it lol

[@knivez786]

Wait till he see's buckys metal arm "HEY QUILL I NEED THIS GUYS ARM" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@djjaxx7094]

Hassnain Ali well you were kinda right about it though 😅

[@christosgregoriou4734]

Hassnain Ali Your wish was granted

[@landa7132]

I grew up watching Batista on wwe as a fan I'm happy for Dave ,it's amazing how Dave bautista went from wwe to an actor , such a humble guy I met him in a comic book convention here in San Antonio I got a picture with Dave and he signed my world heavy weight championship too 😂 much respect for Dave

[@cpmtn1995]

its also cool to think that drax and iron man have chemistry because drax's first appearance in the comics was in an iron man comic (#55) where they teamed up and fought thanos who also first appeared in the same book

[@sargvsu]

Those early scense with Drax were the best. Was dying!!

[@sleyr-4127]

I'm pretty sure Drax will laugh at every joke Iron Man makes

[@CRIMINAL827]

i think he won't get any of them LOL

[@Vijay-tg7hf]

that wont stop him from laughing lol... n patting his iron suit

[@rolandbujeiro6346]

He seems like an authentically nice guy.

[@youtubenpc8273]

He is sooo good as Drax. I can't imagine anyone else doing him. He's my favorite guardian.

[@GreenRanger881]

Batista's Drax is like one of my favorite marvel characters

[@bobbylachancejr5901]

that's the #1 thing that worried me was how the Russo brothers would handle the Guardians of the Galaxy. would they turn them into specifically theirs or just keep them the way they were and knowing it was business as usual is awesome. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

[@starlord2078]

I'm insecure

[@y3ldarb2]

Your muscles are no match for Thor Odinson's.

[@squidtron-ck9rq]

Star Lord well look at it this way: you're half celestial.

[@casscassillas1284]

squidtron 90000 yeah but didn't he give up his celestial powers?

[@y3ldarb2]

+Cass Cassillas Shhhh.... you'll only make him more insecure...

[@squidtron-ck9rq]

Cass Cassillas he's still half god, his dad is Kurt russel, and his adoptive dad was Darryl's brother on Walking Dead. Insecurity solved.

[@philipalzate691]

real humble man. Loved watching him "wrestle" and am loving him make movies. Correction act in movies

[@lowekal]

Drax should be in the lineup on lateshows and interviews! He's definitely one of my favorite characters!

[@oitnbgloball4581]

this guy awesome !! love you dave !!

[@yeoyeo9788]

And to think kids nowadays are gonna know him as Drax from guardians where as when I was a kid he was known as "the animal" dropping spine busters and Batista bombs lol

[@Alster123456]

"How long have you been standing there" " An hour "

[@alexandrewvice6845]

0:11 "It was so retar... so ridiculous" lol Disney censoring.

[@OneAndOnlyMe]

The MCU actors care so much about their characters, that's what has made the MCU project so special.

[@lancecryor]

So glad Batista has gotten this huge movie push. He's pretty much an overnight success straight from the wrestling world. I also loved his role in Blade Runner 2049. Now he's in one of the biggest movies of all time.

[@claimeddrip]

Omg Dave is such an earnest guy, I'd love to meet him in real life and just give him a hug 😄

[@HIPPEYJONEZ]

Cant wait to see Drax, Hulk and Groot together. How funny would that be. And Iron man's jokes totally flying over Drax's head.

[@javierdiego9781]

Wow he's so eloquent and humble, I am a bigger fan now. Awesome guy and great achievements from pro wrestling to great acting!

[@eekeey]

he seems like a nice, genuine guy.

[@christianpuente7259]

When i was a kid i knew him as the animal! Batista! The good ol days of friday night smackdown but now....10 yrs later hes drax to me...life changes its crazy! Im 25 now btw

[@Marvelmania360]

He looks so different in real life

[@wiinterflowers95]

Bautisa is such a lovable guy!

[@longdirtytoenails1076]

He was amazing in Blade Runner 2.

[@poochyboi]

dave seems to be getting more roles in hollywood these days...

[@Ray-hh5rz]

drax and cap,strange and tony,scott and rocket will be the funniest lol

[@tatette]

Love me some Drax.... great to see he is such a lovely dude.

[@VFSactor67]

It's so GREAT knowing that people, as ARTISTS, can transition well from one medium to the next! Case in point, I didn't know much about Dave Bautista until I saw Guardians of the Galaxy!❤️👍🏽😃

[@ceesKe12]

im glad Dave became apart of something amazing after the WWE, he was such a beast back then & now he is killing it as Drax!

[@Remek92LA]

Batista was one of my favorite WWE wrestlers growing up as a kid especially when he started becomin friends with Eddie Guerrero on screen on Smackdown Anyone else feel the same?

[@Mr_Death031]

Remek92LA Batista and Eddie made a good team Miss that guy man , hard to believe it's been like 12 years since he died

[@tovolume]

Every time Dave Batista talks about Eddie, Dave is in tears, Dave really misses him

[@eXtremeComicGames]

That moment you realise Thanos is gonna have to fight an Animal

[@tovolume]

I hope Drax The Destroyer kicks Thanos ass, if Drax got the Infinity Gauntlet, Drax wins

[@christianpuente7259]

We better see a batista bomb somewhere!

[@nd8490]

His "Why is Gamora" line was a total ad-lib by Dave. Funniest line in the film

[@David-sr4ug]

I like it when I see people like this happy

[@bradleyelsken622]

Am I the only one who prefers this guy over The Rock?

[@tovolume]

Nope, i do to, i used to be a fan of the rock but not anymore, Dave Batista is my man

[@newdrew2744]

This man is an awesome human being!

[@82McKinley]

I want this to be at least a 4 hour film.

[@PuffySofty]

Remember back when the WWE boo him? Yeah, guess whos laughing now..

[@TheUncleDaddy]

Gwen Poole the fans of WWE not the company itself (they wanted him to become their champion)

[@ionosphere7993]

Yo Uncle and Yo Daddy Wrong. At first they were all excited for Dave to come back, but when the company decided to push him by giving him The Royal Rumble 2015, everyone started booing him and they all cheered for Daniel Bryan instead. Pretty sad to be honest.

[@DonRambo6661]

They boo the company, not him

[@PuffySofty]

Don Rambo then why they nicknamed him "Bootista"? Sounds pretty personal to me

[@jcam320]

Gwen Poole they booed him when he was a heel? He was just doing his job lol

[@Cinqueggi]

Of all the wrestler that became actors he's the most talented... He's just in quality movies and so different in every role.. he can be funny like in gotg or great villan like in 007.. really liked him a lot in blade runner also!!!

[@iron5952]

I want Hulk and Spidey chemistry.

[@GE0VANYyy]

I love Batista. Growing up watching him wreck havoc in Evolution to seeing him on the big screen. This guy is amazing too, his humility is like no other. I hope Batista gets many more roles in Hollywood and has great success.

[@Nachoboy128]

As a wwe fan it's amazing how far Dave has come, seems like a great guy and deserves everything he gets

[@LudicrouslyLiam]

his exaggerated laughs in the GOTG movies get me every time

[@acequeencombo]

"Who is Gamora?" "Why is Gamora?" Yup, the chemistry between them is really there to create the most iconic quote in Infinity War.

[@tovolume]

Dave Bautista improvised that line, it was not scripted

[@Bredaxe]

I hope they follow the comic book story line on this one. It's interesting they introduced Nebula in the Marvel movie universe since she plays a very important part of the final showdown with Thanos. Lets see if it happens similarly.

[@brokenuniverse1684]

Bredaxe I actually think it's going to be Drax and Nebula who finish Thanos.. maybe Nebula stealing the gauntlet when Thanos gets overconfident then Drax deals the final blow somehow.. just my thought but I think that would be kinda cool

[@Bredaxe]

Broken Universe Yup, she does a real number on Thanos. payback for all that cybernetic butchering he did to her.

[@Cataclysm_1]

Batista is such a cool guy.

[@Kicks-iw2xe]

U know gamora will fancy thor lol

[@craighay9086]

Kicks1981 35 You know Thor will fancy Gamora

[@endangeredmexican9644]

Kicks1981 35 I want to see hulk and rocket together

[@kevinfromsales6842]

Star Lord is gonna be so jealous!!

[@xMrDope1]

She did lmao

[@lagunacinematics]

holy shit

[@aII3n]

im so pround of dave bautista i love him so much, wrestling or not-wrestling imma supporter.

[@matthewsanchez8652]

I'm so happy now. when he left wwe I was so sad and now I get to see him in my favorite movie franchise and I'm happy once more.

[@dayno8019]

Good interview Dave

[@ricardoalcantaracampos4811]

i love dave batista.

[@josephproudfoot2495]

I've heard rumors he's in contention for a Live Action God of War. I seriously hope that happens, I think he'd rock it.

[@tovolume]

Steven DeKnight said that if anyone were to make a God of War movie, Steven wanted Dave Batista to play Kratos

[@Cam-lc6sb]

Wow that'd be great

[@TestarossaF110]

Holy shit batista is a true fan. I love him even more now! Wow!!

[@michaeldepinto3562]

Bautista as Drax is the best one of my favorite MCU Characters top 5 for me

[@EspacX]

Thinking about Tony Stark and Drax: Tony talks in metaphors a lot. And rapidly. I feel Drax will just punch him after a while because he stopped making sense and is probably broken.

[@OweeReviews]

I hope Drax will be the one to eventually defeat Thanos and avenge his family.

[@StewArt61]

love Drax but Dave was even better in Blade runner... he's gave some serious dramatic chops that was amazing..future's bright for the big guy

[@noah-j00]

ohh drax i love youu drax will rock in infinitywar !!

[@talon3684]

Doing a great job as an actor. Would make a great Bane for DC Comics 👍

[@jorgensenmj]

Tony Stark to Drax "hand me those anulax batteries" Drax "Here you go....Harbulary batteries"

[@DallasOrrr]

Ohh man this movie will be legendary

"I thought a black widow was a spider"

[@giovannigarcia7616]

Man I feel sorry for those films that will that will be on the same month as avengers

[@tovolume]

Dave Batista announced on his Twitter that he will be in Avengers 4

[@edwardmulholland7912]

This guy is a good actor and comes across as a very decent person - plus he loves animals. Dave! All the best to you.

[@scrivnerlee2283]

What a fantastic guy! 😉

[@RickyBBlessed]

This movie will shatter the box office

[@merdemoiii-7589]

RickyBBlessed I’m so scared I won’t be able to see it 😂

[@sreerajunnikrishnan6478]

Star lord- where is gamora Iron man- what is gamora Drax- where is gamora Maaan....that was hilarious....infinity war is an awesome movie.... Batista played drax superbly

[@Mideler]

WHY** great joke btw

[@TheSingularitarian]

This guy is a class act.

[@XxHUNT3RN4T0RxX]

Good choice for him to leave WWE for Marvel movies. It's worth it because he's so good as Drax. Besides, WWE is pretty much dying now, more new wrestlers who I barely know than old beloved wrestlers who I liked when I was young.

[@tovolume]

Dave Batista made the wise decision to leave WWE, the fans and working environment and Vince McMahon's overbearing control freak attitude took away the fun of WWE and made it boring and lifeless

[@tovolume]

night raid Same with me, when i watched WWE again when Dave Batista returned, and then i stopped watching WWE again when Dave Batista left again

[@Blacksoljah]

This man was just spilling out all the tea

[@WonderWhy66]

I seriously want Drax to give Thanos a BATISTA BOMB!!!!
