Dave Bautista slams 'nauseating' Disney over James Gunn firing
- 6 years ago
Dave Bautista has described working for Disney as "nauseating" following James Gunn's firing.
The 49-year-old actor has slammed the company for its treatment of the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' filmmaker, who was axed while working on the third installment of the franchise due to offensive social media posts he made in the past.
Responding to a fan asking if he would be back for the third film, Bautista tweeted: "I will do what Im legally obligated to do but @Guardians without @JamesGunn is not what I signed up for. GOTG w/o @JamesGunn just isn't GOTG.
"Its also pretty nauseating to work for someone who'd empower a smear campaign by fascists #cybernazis . That's just how I feel"
Outspoken white nationalist and conspiracy theorist Mike Cernovich had pushed a campaign to get Gunn fired after promising to target his "enemies" by unearthing "fireable tweets".
