Drax's Ultimate Fate Revealed in Infinity War?

IsDave Bautistagetting ready to exit the MCU as Drax? If so, that means we could see the beloved character meet a rather grim fate inAvengers: Infinity War. Or possibly the still untitledAvengers 4, depending on how things work out. In any case, news of Bautista’s desire to return as a professional wrestler in the WWE has sparked speculation that he may be leaving Hollywood behind. That means Drax could wind up dying inAvengers: Infinity War.

“Dave Bautista, who turns 49 next month, is very serious about going back for a relatively lengthy (six months to a year) final full-time run. He doesn’t need to do it but it appears it’s something he wants to do. He’s doing well in Hollywood but the problem is if you sign with WWE, they own your contract and if something comes along, the company wanting him will have to negotiate with WWE, which makes the deal more difficult. As far as doing a thing like Goldberg or Lesnar where he works a few dates as a big attraction, that makes all the sense in the world, but he’s talking a more regular schedule. The last time he was in WWE, he noted how much more he enjoyed doing house shows than television, so that may play into it, but he didn’t work a full house show schedule.”

If you aren’t familiar, when you’re a professional wrestler, it is incredibly time-consuming. Not only are there the broadcast TV shows to worry about, but the “house shows” are something that WWE wrestlers are required to appear at and, according to this report Dave Bautista is looking to be a full participant. Does that mean he has todie in Avengers: Infinity War? No, but we can’t rule it out.

For one,Thanos is finally going to unleash his full poweronThe Avengersand, as we saw in theInfinity Wartrailer, theGuardians of the Galaxyare getting in on the action as well. Drax may be strong and hot-headed, but he didn’t make a dent in Ronan. What chance does he have against Thanos? We know that some characters aren’t going to make it out of the movie alive and it’s possible one of those characters who dies will be Drax.
