"Nauseating" to work with Disney: Guardians star Dave Bautista slams studio over James Gunn firing

Dave Bautista took to Twitter on Sunday, expressing his disappointment with Disney calling Gunn's ousting, a move in the direction of empowering 'a smear campaign'.

Despite the legion of fans and A-listers joining forces to get James Gunn reinstated as the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' director, there has been no positive news from the studio's end. In fact, with each passing day, the decision to fire the Marvel filmmaker over decade-old tweets - deemed as insensitive - seems more and more permanent. 

In the light of the current stand taken by the Mouse House, it looks like a certain Guardians star is not too thrilled about reprising his role in the upcoming third installment of the superhero franchise. Fan-favorite Drax aka Dave Bautista took to Twitter on Sunday, expressing his disappointment with Disney calling Gunn's ousting, a move in the direction of empowering "a smear campaign".

The actor went on to take a jab at the Burbank-based entertainment company for furthering a maligning motive by those he refers to as the "cybernazis". "It's also pretty nauseating to work for someone who’d empower a smear campaign by fascists #cybernazis . That’s just how I feel," he added.
