Dave Bautista Reveals Scheduling Led to Declining DC Peacemaker Role
Dave Bautista, known for his role as Drax in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy directed by James Gunn, revealed that he was initially considered for the role of Peacemaker in the DC Universe, a part James Gunn wrote specifically for him. However, Bautista had to turn down the role due to scheduling conflicts with his work on Army of the Dead, which prevented him from joining the DCU project. Despite missing out, Bautista expressed no bitterness and praised John Cena, who took over the Peacemaker role, saying Cena was perfect for it and the show’s success reflects that. Bautista has also expressed eagerness to collaborate with James Gunn on future DC projects but noted no direct talks have occurred yet. Peacemaker Season 2 is currently airing on HBO Max, continuing the character’s story with Cena in the lead. Bautista's relationship with Gunn and his career trajectory keeps fans hopeful for potential future collaborations in the DC Universe.
