An amusing fan poster turns Drax (Dave Bautista) from Avengers: Infinity War into The Invisible Man. Since his introduction to the MCU in the 2014 film Guardians of the Galaxy, Drax has become a fan favorite who can always be counted upon to provide a funny line or two in every film he's in. The fan poster is in reference to a moment in Infinity War, where Drax claims he's mastered the art of becoming invisible just by standing very, very still. Of course, he can't actually become invisible by doing this, but fans enjoyed the joke and now reference it frequently, much to the annoyance of Bautista himself.
The Invisible Man stars Elisabeth Moss as a woman who finds herself tormented by her dead abusive ex-boyfriend after he somehow finds a way to make himself invisible. The film is Universal's latest attempt at revamping their classic monster films following 2017's misfire The Mummy. So far, The Invisible Man has been a far greater success, scoring a solid opening weekend and very positive reviews. The film, directed by Leigh Whannell, also stars Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Storm Reid, and Aldis Hodge.
The fan poster was shared by C. Robert Cargill on Twitter. Cargill himself has Marvel ties, having written 2016's Doctor Strange. Cargill was set to write the sequel, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but stepped away from the project along with director Scott Derrickson following creative differences. The fan poster is just like the actual Invisible Man posters, only Drax is lurking in the background. Check it out below:
The Invisible Man continues to perform well at the box office, having earned nearly $100 million worldwide at the time of this writing. For his part, Drax is next expected to appear in the long-awaited Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which has yet to receive a release date due to director James Gunn's work on The Suicide Squad (as well as his firing and then re-hiring on the project). Bautista's latest film, My Spy, recently shifted release dates for the third time.
While Bautista might not find the Drax joke funny anymore, others are clearly still attached to it. The joke came during one of Marvel's more serious movies, as Infinity War ended with half of the Marvel universe turning to dust. Despite the doom and gloom of the film, however, Drax still found time for multiple jokes, with his "Why is Gamora?" line being another frequently referenced quip. For Bautista's sake, hopefully Vol. 3 has a new Drax line to capture the audience's attention.
