​David ​Bautista recently revealed that at one point guarding the galaxy wasn't enough for him, as he always dreamed of exploring and protecting a galaxy far, far away too!





According to Complex, Bautista told Flickering Myth that he auditioned to become a member of the Star Wars franchise, sharing, "I’ve actually auditioned for a couple of Star Wars [movies] and they’ve turned me down. It was always a dream of mine to be in a Star Wars film."

Like many other fans, Bautista isn't exactly enthusiastic about the latest couple of ​Star Wars films, but he did enjoy one.





"I particularly loved Rogue One. I thought it was a really great film and I love that they went a little bit dark with it. I thought it was really interesting," he said.





Although Bautista's Star Wars dream has yet to come to fruition, he's still played some other incredible characters, ​like Drax in the Guardians of the Galaxy films.

But apparently, ​Star Wars isn't Bautista's only dream franchise. He also admitted he "really wants" to be a part of the Gears of War film, and it's something he's been going after "for years."





We love Bautista as Drax, so it'd be great to see how he brings other characters to life. Best of luck, David!
