Why Drax The Destroyer Might Die In Avengers: Infinity War

Galvanizing The Guardians

Avengers: Infinity War is the culmination of some ten years’ worth of movies, although it clearly marks the beginning of a new age for the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe, which begins after Avengers 4. Little is known about this upcoming film roster, though we can at least can assume some of the soon-to-be announced movies, such as sequels to Doctor Strange and Black Panther. And there’s also word that things could be getting even crazier as the MCU progressively delves into the cosmic side of things.

With the Avengers, there’s chatter that several character deaths will allow new heroes to fill old spaces, and thus invigorate interest in the team. Again, the same thing could occur with the Guardians. Drax partially assumed the role of the experienced warrior/adviser, yet Vol. 2 saw Star-Lord taking on that part for the benefit of Baby/Tween Groot. In this way, the Milano could be getting a shakeup similar to Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, especially if Chris Hemsworth’s contract gets renewed.

“What’s Thor got to do with it?” you ask. Well, there’s plenty to suggest that he might become a permanent member of the team. It may not have happened in the comics, but hey, his original Ragnarok storyline never featured Hulk in a gladiator match with our hero, and in 2017 we got to see just that on our screens.

The stage is set for Avengers: Infinity War and its sequel to be two of the biggest blockbusters in living memory. We seriously don’t want our favorite alien warrior to lay his last, famously-large turd by any means. And yet, there’s a lot to indicate that Drax could meet his demise; heaven help our emotions if he does, though.

Thanos demands your silence? Thanos demands the hankies is more like it!
