Guardians of the Galaxy Drax The Man on the Sax: a Thread for the Destroyer

[Project862006]

liam hemsworth i think would be a great johnny storm not drax tho

 

[cherokeesam]

Liam *McIntyre,* however, would be a great Drax.

i just realized we havent considered any african american/black actor who can play this role excluding isaiah mustafa.

not to sound racist, and or to offend any one, but are there any african american/black actors who fit the role of Drax?

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Peter Mensah

 

[Norrin Parker]

I'm starting to like the idea of Manu Bennett hes 43, he has the look, he can do action scenes and isn't bad actor.

 

[SuperSAINT]

Peter Mensah

I had no idea Mensah is 53 (!)

 

[T"Challa]

Terry Crews

 

[KangConquers]

Peter Mensah

Mensah was my choice at one point. Don't know why I got off of the Mensah band wagon. Definitely willing to get back on.

I think Drax could be black. I just hope that if they do go with a black actor, they make Moondragon black too (assuming she ever appears.)

 

[Nathan]

Would they really need to do that though? He's a spirit put into an artificially created body, with green skin.

If they ever did a Flashback to Drax as Arthur Douglas, the actor playing Drax would probably want to play his human form.

Just sort of a cross your t's and dot your i's thing to avoid complications. Besides, I can't imagine anyone complaining if Moondragon was black.

 

[jaqua99]

lol I love how the only thing in each GotG thread being talked about is casting...essentially.



But you think they would have Drax be a human originally in the MCU? For some reason a part of me thinks they will abandon that part of him

 

[Chewy]

Something tells me Drax won't have had a past human form named Arthur Douglas in the movies

I'm kind of hoping that his revenge issue with Thanos is simplified to Thanos killing his family. No wonky Death and Resurrection by a demi-god.

 

[Nathan]

So would that mean that in the MCU, there'd be a whole race like Drax? Would definitely be better than that whole earth-man getting killed and resurrected in a new body, then getting stupid, then emerging as smart and smaller out of the shell of his old body, etc...

I imagine we'll never see dumb/ Hulk Drax.

I think they'll probably just make Drax an Eternal of Titan, who was loyal to A'lars, and was thus punished by Thanos.

Sounds perfect to me.
And then you could go ahead and make Moondragon an Eternal, or half-Eternal. All of that's better than the old Arthur Douglas backstory.

Personally, I'd prefer there *not* to be a whole bunch of humans who have already gone to space in the MCU. I'd like for the first forays into the MCU cosmos from Earth to come just from Peter Quill, Rich Ryder, and Carol Danvers.

co-sign.

Songs for the Deaf kicks ass.

 

[Chewy]

It'll be Sam Alexander, not Rich Rider. Not really a fan of that but let's keep it real.

Yup.

Ugh.
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

 

[Nathan]

What's the deal with Sam Alexander?

 

[Chewy]

I was kinda upset about the Sam Alexander character at first, but once you realize it's kind of Loeb paying tribute to his dead son it's hard to feel anything but sad about it.

You mean writers have actual lives? I thought they just existed to appease our fan-boy whimsies.

Sad isn't a feeling you want attributed to a character when selling a movie though. Even when you try to find something good about Sam Alexander it ends up being bad.
