The Suicide Squad director James Gunn wished Avengers star Dave Bautista a happy birthday while “mocking” a Guardians of the Galaxy star in a recent social media post.
Before Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers, Dave Bautista was best known for his WWE career. Dave Bautista later broke out thanks to James Gunn casting him as Drax the Destroyer in the first Guardians of the Galaxy film. After its release, Dave Bautista went on to star in Spectre, Blade Runner 2049, Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame and he will soon be seen in Army of the Dead and Dune. When James Gunn was fired off Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Dave Bautista was one of the more vocal cast member in defending the director.
While James Gunn is currently working on The Suicide Squad, he will now be reuniting with Dave Bautista for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Dave Bautista has teased that he was going to appear in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, but scheduling conflicts preventing him from being in the film. Nonetheless, James Gunn took the time during The Suicide Squad production to wish Dave Bautista a happy birthday while mocking Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers star Chris Pratt.
