Dave Bautista doubles down on the end of his time as Drax. Penn Jillette reveals a suitably bonkers cameo for the Borderlands movie. Tom Cruise is trainward bound in a new look at Mission Impossible 7. Plus, Batwoman tackles racist policing, and what’s next on The Nevers. Spoilers now!
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
Dave Bautista doubled-down on recent comments he will no longer be playing Drax after Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
There’s no Drax for me without you, buddy! You ARE the MCU’s Drax the Destroyer and, as far as I’m concerned, could never be replaced. And you have the right to do whatever you want with your acting choices! ❤️ @DaveBautista https://t.co/Mn5uNRVUvN

On a recent episode of his podcast, Penn Jillette revealed he appears in Eli Roth’s Borderlands as a priest officiating a wedding. Naturally, the nuptials are interrupted by a fight scene that results in his character being carried off inside a “space paddywagon” alongside Kevin Hart’s character, Roland. [/Film]
