Does Drax Die in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3?

It’s time for a new adventure with one of Marvel’s iconic superhero teams. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has arrived, serving as the second movie in Phase Five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. James Gunn writes and directs this new action-comedy movie following the Guardians as they go on one last journey together. With the teasers marketing this as one final adventure with our beloved hilarious heroes and a few cast members confirming this as their final MCU film, audiences may be wondering if Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista) dies at the end of the movie. Here is our answer.

Beware, there are plenty of spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 below!

Is there a Drax death scene in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3?

Fortunately, Drax does not die in the third and final Guardians movie. There was a lot of speculation that he would die after Dave Bautista confirmed that this would be his final outing as Drax.

In a profile with GQ, Bautista said, “I’m so grateful for Drax. I love him. But there’s a relief [that it’s over]. It wasn’t all pleasant. It was hard playing that role. The makeup process was beating me down. And I just don’t know if I want Drax to be my legacy—it’s a silly performance, and I want to do more dramatic stuff.”

In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Drax brings even more of the laughs you would expect from his character. He works with the Guardians in their adventure, where he messes things up at first, to the annoyance of Nebula (Karen Gillan). However, Drax soon leads a group of children to safety, making them laugh in a time of need. He stays behind to help raise the kids, getting to be a father again for the first time since his daughter died at the hands of Ronan the Accuser.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is now playing in theaters.
