What Line Did Batista Improvise In 'Avengers: Infinity War'?

According to a Yahoo interview conducted with two screenwriters of Avengers: Infinity War, Batista showed off his comic chops by improvising one of his lines in the blockbuster smash of the spring:

Then there’s Dave Bautista, the giant of a man behind Drax, who is quickly emerging as one of the funniest Avengers/Guardians, thanks to laugh-landing lines like, “Why is Gamora?,” which perfectly breaks the tension during a heated standoff between Iron Man and Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) on Titan.

“The script only said, ‘Where is Gamora?’ ‘I’ll do you even better: Who is Gamora?’ And then one day Bautista just goes, ‘I’ll do you one better: Why is Gamora?’” Markus recalled. “It’s like, ‘OK, you’re very good at your job.’”

You can read the entire spoiler-filled sit-down with the screenwriters by going here.

Batista is no stranger to improv comedy, particularly in the ring. One of my all-time favorites is his 2014 Raw exit when he mic drops and “queen waves” goodbye to the crowd. Just a total “screw you guys” moment. I’m telling you, search for the GIF. You’ll get plenty of use out of it.
