James Gunn talks about Guardians of the Galaxy jokes involving John Cena that he regrets making

It is no secret that Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is one of the most-awaited films of 2023. It is set to debut in theatres on May 5, 2023. The film brings back not just filmmaker James Gunn but also Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, and the voices of Vin Diesel with Bradley Cooper.

Now, as the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy concludes in 2023 following the release of a Disney+ Holiday Special later this year, Gunn has revealed one regret that he has when it comes to Drax in the MCU. Yes, he is talking about the John Cena reference.


Responding to a fan on Twitter who referenced the Avengers: Infinity War scene in which Dave Bautista’s Drax stood still in an attempt to become invisible, Gunn revealed he has begun to regret the joke. Gunn, who wrote the Guardians’ lines for Infinity War noted how the “daily barrage of repetitive invisible jokes” he receives about both Peacemaker’s John Cena and Bautista’s Drax has led him to “almost regret making the joke.”

He wrote, “Between the daily barrage of repetitive invisible jokes about John Cena in addition to the ones about Dave, I almost regret making the joke in the first place.”

Not just Gunn, Dave Bautista himself is also done with the invisibility joke. He previously said he was over the invisible jokes, going the length to suggest he'd even prefer the “sensitive nipples” jokes from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

“I feel like all the people who comment every time I post a pic of myself ‘I don’t see anyone! You’re standing so still you’re invisible’ are still doing Borat impersonations and thinking how funny and witty they must seem,” Bautista wrote as per Comic book. “I never thought I’d miss the ‘sensitive nipples’ comments!”

Author Chetan Bhagat says the obsession with fame is harming Bollywood actors' mental health

Highlights:

  • Bhagat says some stars can’t enjoy meals if not photographed.
  • Author calls Bollywood a “drug house of fame.”
  • He left movies to focus on writing and moved to Dubai.
  • Sees industry as insecure, with friendships mostly transactional.
  • Believes creating stories gives him more satisfaction than films.

Chetan Bhagat says fame in Bollywood can take a serious toll on mental health. The bestselling author, whose novels like 3 Idiots and Kai Po Che! became major films, explained that many actors and directors struggle when their work doesn’t succeed. “There are actors who, when going to a restaurant, if they aren’t recognised, don’t enjoy the meal. They wonder, ‘No one came to click photos?’ Can you imagine what a sick life that is?” he said.

Bhagat added that the pressure of attention and constant public scrutiny can worsen insecurity. He recalled seeing stars fade over time, their mental health affected by the highs and lows of fame.
