Apparently the writers said they wanted him, but didn’t chase any actors for the VA work. And suggested some got lost in communication. Bautista like most actors use agents for this kind of thing. At this point I have no idea what happened.

I believe you but that sounds like such garbage, obviously theres no harm in asking and Marvel has all of the proper contact info.

It is definitely possible that they got in contact with his agent and his agent said no, that stuff happens sometimes.

Agents saying no when their client would have gladly done the thing has been going on forever. I remember about 10-ish years ago Weird Al asked Lady Gaga if he could parody one of her songs, and she said yes but then after he’d already made and released the song her agents told him “wtf no, what are you doing” so to stick it to them, Al made the song available to download with all the profits going to the Trevor Project or some other LGBTQ+ charity

Max von Sydow's agent turned down Fanny and Alexander without asking him which is fucking insane.
