Dave Bautista will be returning as his character Drax in Avengers: Infinity War, and in the movie, he gets to interact with another big Marvel hero, Spider-Man, played by Tom Holland. While talking at Chris Jericho's podcast, Talk is Jericho, Bautista shares his thought on Spider-Man, and how he thinks that Marvel is planning on acquiring the full rights to the character soon.
Here's what he said:
"Spider-Man is the one I'm really looking forward to. I love that kid – I love Tom Holland. I also love that they're staying so true to the comics with this whole series and I think that's because Marvel Studios has gotten involved. I think before, I think it was Sony who had control. And I think they're doing a partnership now, but I think they will – I don't know this for sure – but I think they're going to re-acquire Spider-Man."
As of now, Sony may have given the wheel to Marvel in order to flesh the character out, but with the money that the franchise brings in for the studio, a lot of fans are pretty sure that Sony is going to hang on tight to Marvel's webslinger.
Besides that, Sony is working on other Spider-Man-related properties like the Venom standalone film as well as a Silver Sable/Black Cat movie, so losing their rights to Spider-Man is probably not an option.
I think the best option for Marvel now is just to work with the partnership while they still have it. I'd much rather have the studio getting full rights to Fantastic Four again. Damn you, 20th Century Fox!
Dave Bautista stars in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 which is out now, and Spider-Man: Homecoming hits theaters July 7.
