Former WWE Superstar Dave Bautista continues to speak out on director James Gunn’s firing from the “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie franchise.
During an interview with Shortlist.com, Bautista made it clear that he wanted Gunn’s script to be used in the movie.
“Nobody’s defending his tweets, but this was a smear campaign on a good man,” he said. “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*ck this. This is bulls**t. James is one of the kindest, most decent people I’ve met.”
He appears to be very serious about his desire to have Gunn’s script in the movie and if that does not happen then he is ready to leave the franchise. Bautista said, “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.”
Several cast members have said that they support Gunn but Bautista has been the most vocal in public.
