During one of the famous conversations, Drax states that he has mastered the ability to stand so perfectly still that he becomes near invisible to the eye (which sadly didn’t work). The fans have been repeating the same joke with the director ever since it became famous which hasn’t bode well with James Gunn.

Adding fuel to the fire, John Cena is known for his famous tagline “You can’t see me” which people have been making memes for years. James Gunn worked with John Cena on the sets of Suicide Squad (2021) in which John Cena played the character of Peacemaker.
