Three Actors Up For The Role Of Drax The Destroyer In Marvel’s ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’

There’s been quite a bit of casting talk recently regarding the role of Peter Quill aka Star-Lord in Marvel Studios Guardians Of The Galaxy. But with the production on the film set to begin soon, what about the rest of the cast?

Apparently a source close to the production has revealed that Isaiah Mustafa (who you may know best as The Old Spice Guy), Brian Patrick Wade (The Guardian) and Dave Bautista (The Man With The Iron Fists) are all currently in negotiations for the role of Drax The Destroyer in the James Gunn directed space-epic. In the comics, Drax was an a human named Arthur Douglas whose family was attacked and killed by Thanos . The being known as Kronos took the soul of Douglas and placed it in a powerful new body to challenge and destroy Thanos. Thus, Drax The Destroyer was born. However, it has been revealed that they will be changing the character’s story for the film.

With filming expected to begin very soon we can expected to hear some official announcements regarding casting very soon.

Guardians Of The Galaxy is set to hit theaters August 1, 2014.
