Dave Bautista says it was a luxury to step into the role of Drax for a second time in the sequel Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. He admits filming the movie didn’t feel like work – it felt like he was hanging out with his buddies. He describes Drax’s relationship with the new character Mantis as siblings. He also talks about the new makeup process, which takes only an hour and a half to put on, although he reveals it’s really hard to take off.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 opens in 2D, 3D & IMAX 3D on May 5, 2017.
