Fresh off his rather excellent performance as Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy, Dave Bautista is now going to play a villain in Bond 24 according to reports.
The announcement of Dave “Batista” Bautista playing Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy was met with some jeers from fans who were worried the pro wrestler may not be able to act, never mind portray a comic book favourite. Well, Bautista proved them all wrong with a rather excellent performance.
Now, it seems like that performance has led him to being cast in another huge film – Bond 24. This comes from a report from Latinoreview.com.
The report states that Batista will be playing a henchman/assassin called Hinx; a character that will have several key fight scenes with 007. This role will do wonders for Bautista, who is set to return as Drax the Destroyer in Guardians of the Galaxy 2 for director James Gunn.
Shooting begins on Bond 24 in December, with Daniel Craig returning as James Bond for a fourth time. Director Sam Mendes is back too, after making Skyfall – the biggest James Bond film of all-time.
