What If…? govt producer Brad Winderbaum has since addressed Bautista’s declare, believing a “miscommunication” will be the root of the problem.

Talking to Variety about Bautista’s remark, Winderbaum stated: “I noticed that, too. It’s my understanding that everyone was requested not directly, form or kind, both by way of their brokers or straight.

“I don’t know actually what occurred behind the scenes there, however definitely, we’d have liked for him to be within the present. So there’s most likely some miscommunication someplace.”

Bautista isn’t the one actor to not return. Josh Keaton takes over the position of Steve Rogers from Chris Evans, whereas Robert Downey. Jr and Scarlett Johannson are now not the voices of Iron Man and Black Widow respectively. These absences are extra comprehensible nonetheless as they’ve all left their character’s behind within the MCU.

Bautista has been essential of Marvel’s handling of Drax too, stating his character’s storyline with Thanos (Josh Brolin) was “swept beneath the rug”.
