“Guardians of the Galaxy” actor Dave Bautista continued
to voice his displeasure with director James Gunn’s firing over
the weekend. -
Bautista tweeted that it was “nauseating” to work for
Disney, which he said empowered “fascists.” -
He also said that he would do what he was “legally
obligated” to do for the third film, but “Guardians” without
Gunn was not what he signed up for. -
Kurt Russell, who played the villain Ego in last year’s
sequel, also broke his silence and told Variety, “we’re
getting a little too sensitive on maybe some of the wrong
people.”
“Guardians of the Galaxy” actor Dave Bautista, who plays Drax,
has been the most outspoken of the entire cast since Disney fired
director James Gunn from the third movie. Bautista continued to
voice his displeasure over the weekend, and called out Disney.
Bautista said he would return for the third movie, but that he
wasn’t happy about it. He tweeted on Sunday that he’d “do what
I’m legally obligated to do” but that “Guardians” without Gunn
was “not what I signed up for.”
He added, “Its also pretty nauseating to work for someone
who’d empower a smear campaign by fascists,” referring to the
conservative personalities that uncovered the old tweets that got
Gunn fired.
Disney fired Gunn last month after a
series of offensive tweets resurfaced in which Gunn joked about
rape and pedophilia.
The entire main cast of the “Guardians” films released an open letter in support of
Gunn last week, and many of the actors called for him to be
reinstated. Despite this, Disney will reportedly stick to its
decision and not rehire him, according to Variety, which cited anonymous
sources.
Kurt Russell, who played the villain Ego in “Guardians of the
Galaxy Vol. 2” last year, also broke his silence recently. The
actor told Variety, “It’s sad. But
it’s a part of our fabric now, and I get it. But I do think
we’re getting a little too sensitive on maybe some of the wrong
people.”
