Sometimes actors don’t have to say anything about the actual plot or movie itself to spoil how it ends. In Dave Bautista’s case, revealing he was filming additional movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that would take place after the events of “Avengers: Infinity War” spoiled that his character Drax would somehow come back after being vaporized into dust by the Snap.
“We definitely see more Guardians in the upcoming ‘Avengers’ movie, which we’ve already shot,” Bautista shared while speaking with Good Morning Britain during the opening weekend for “Infinity War.” Quickly realizing what his words reveal, the actor says he had been sharing that he filmed for the fourth “Avengers” movie, and that he was contracted for a third “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie, even before the release of “Infinity War.” “I’ve shot scenes in it, so must come back somehow,” Bautista continued.
The reveal not only confirmed that Drax would come back, but that other characters that were snapped, including fellow members of the Guardians, were likely to reappear as well. That spoiled the efforts of Captain America, Bruce Banner, Black Widow, Ant-Man, Thor, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Rocket Raccoon, James Rhodes, and Nebula in “Avengers: Endgame.” The entire movie hinges on whether or not they can regather the infinity stones to undo the original snap with their own snap. Bautista confirming he would be back in some capacity despite being turned to dust negates the suspense of the journey.
