I'm not ok with it: Dave Bautista on James Gunn's firing

Wrestler-turned-actor Dave Bautista has voiced concerns over the firing of James Gunn as the director of "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3", saying he is not "ok" with the decision of the Disney Studios.

Gunn was fired by Disney after his old tweets resurfaced where he cracked crude jokes dealing with pedophilia and rape.

The 49-year-old actor, who plays Drax the Destroyer in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, took to Twitter to share his opinion on the development and defended the filmmaker.

"I will have more to say but for right now all I will say is this..@JamesGunn is one of the most loving, caring, good natured people I have ever met," Bautista tweeted.

"He's gentle and kind and cares deeply for people and animals. He's made mistakes. We all have. I'm not ok with what's happening to him," he added.

Actor David Dastmalchian, who played Kurt in "Ant Man" and its sequel, also came out in support of the filmmaker, saying Gunn is "one of the most amazing people I've known".

"I've been saying this for years! @jamesgunn is one of the most amazing people I've ever known -- both professionally and personally."
