Dave Bautista has confirmed that he is open to returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but not as the character Drax. However, there is uncertainty about his current status with the MCU, with some outlets reporting that he has ruled out a return as Drax and possibly the MCU altogether, while others suggest he may still be involved in some capacity. The possibility of Drax's return is also unclear, with one outlet reporting its confirmation, but this is not supported by other reports.
