Excited by this, fans asked James if he remembers the line that was taken out. James replied by commenting on the line by line sequence. According to the tweet posted by James Gunn, in the film, Quill talks about coming from a planet of outlaws like Billy the Kid, Bonnie & Clyde, John Stamos, and so on. Drax then says that the planet Quill is talking about is quite interesting and he would like to visit it. To which Peter Quill replies with a “cool”. However, the line which was cut, came immediately after Quill says “Cool” that is, Drax says “and kill many people there”. The reason for this line by Drax being removed is yet unknown. However, according to an entertainment news portal, Marvel and Disney did not want the killing part to be included in the film. Especially when Drax’s character implied killing John Stamos. Hence Marvel decided to cut that line out, according to an entertainment news portal.
