Chris Pratt was recently cast as heroic lead Star-Lord in Marvels upcoming space franchise Guardians of the Galaxy, now they’ve added the colossal presence of former wrestler Dave Baustista to the cast.

The impressively muscle-bound actor is set to play Drax the Destroyer a hulking green sword wielding hero. Baustista’s memorable appearance in recent kung fu fantasy effort The Man With The Iron Fists was likely a deciding factor in securing him the part.

Drax The Destroyer will join the likes of Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon in tackling Thanos, the inter-galactic villain briefly introduced during the closing credits of The Avengers.
