"Guardians of the Galaxy" actor Dave Bautista says the firing of James Gunn from the franchise is "nauseating". Gunn was fired after some of his old offensive tweets on pedophilia and rape resurfaced. Disney severed its business ties with Gunn on July 20. After the "Guardians of the Galaxy" cast released a statement supporting Gunn, Bautista, who plays Drax in the franchise, has shared his personal thoughts on the matter through a post on Twitter, reports variety.com.
Bautista wrote on Twitter on Sunday that he will still act in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" because he is "legally obligated" but that the franchise without Gunn is "not what I signed up for". "('Guardians of the Galaxy') without James Gunn just isn't ('Guardians of the Galaxy')," he wrote.
