Movie director James Gunn said the following about Dave Batista's performance as "Drax the Destroyer" in the movie Guardians of the Galaxy:

“I can’t tell you about how good Dave Bautista is. Like there is nobody in the world who could do what he’s doing in this movie ‘cause Drax has this Shakespearean way in which he speaks and he’s this big broad character, and yet he’s also a very damaged and tender soul and he gets a lot of the funniest lines in the movie. And Dave’s able to do all of that and be a gigantic bald dude. I can’t even see how it’s possible that we found him you know and how that happened.”
