Filmmaker James Gunn says he put up a "fight" to get actor Dave Bautista on board the cast of "Guardians of the Galaxy" film franchise.
Bautista has been playing Drax the Destroyer in Marvel Cinematic Universe since "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1" in 2014.
He was last seen as the character in 2019's blockbuster "Avengers: Endgame".
In a Q&A session on Twitter on Sunday, Gunn was asked whether he had to fight for Bautista or the studio was in all the time.
To this the director replied, "I had to fight for him - and it was the most worthy fight I've ever fought. Love and miss you @DaveBautista."
