Mantis and Drax

This is one of the best Marvel on-screen relationships: Two peculiar characters interacting with each other (I’m assuming that everybody believes that Drax will kill it in this movie, metaphorically speaking). According to Kevin Feige, what happens between Mantis and Drax will be very interesting, because they are the weirdest of all weird characters.

As we know from the previous installment, Drax is heartbroken and searching for vengeance (his sole motivation in the first movie). From this point of view, there is a certain type of innocence about him.

Mantis shares this innocence. Last week, there was even a hint that a romantic connection might develop between these two characters – though I doubt it.
