There are now just a few weeks until the second instalment of Marvel’s big screen Guardians of the Galaxy series hits cinemas, with the iconic team of crime-fighting, space-travelling superheroes we met in the first flick coming back for this follow-up movie.
Dave Bautista as Drax
Two of those characters are Drax, played by Dave Bautista, and Groot, voiced by Vin Diesel.
In a new report from ComicBook.com, Dave Bautista opened up a little more about Drax and baby Groot, explaining why their relationship is one that will forever be tinged with rivalry.
He said: “I don’t think Drax and The Tree are ever going to get along. Just always going to be at odds with each other. It’s like that sibling rivalry, it’s what if feels like to me.”
The comments come after the film’s director James Gunn said Drax is one of the “funniest” parts of the new movie, so his relationship with Groot should prove to be one that sets up some brilliant scenes.
Character touches like this along with the development we’ve seen from Gunn and his impressive roster of actors is exactly why the first Guardians release did so well. We can’t wait to see where everybody goes next.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 comes to cinemas in the UK and Ireland on April 28.
