It’s been a busy week for Guardians of the Galaxy casting news, which of course makes fans all that much more eager to see some forward motion; this morning there have been a couple of additional rumors added to the mill, in addition to our earlier report that a second major media outlet has backed the Joseph Gordon-Levitt-as-Star-Lord story.Earlier this morning, Comic Book Movie reported that Isaiah Mustafa, Brian Patrick Wade and the WWE’s Dave Bautista are up for the role of Drax the Destroyer in Guardians of the Galaxy. One of a few heavy hitters on the team, a combination of this shortlist and Hollywood convention tells us that he’ll probably be the team’s muscle in the film adaptation.Mustafa will likely be a fan favorite for the role; his public persona is approachable, and he’s one of those names that gets thrown around a lot in “fan-casting” circles. He’s also repeatedly expressed interest in playing Marvel’s Luke Cage.How much interest, you ask? Check out this awesome “pitch trailer” that’s been floating around the Web for a couple of years, featuring Mustafa playing the character.
