Like The Rock, Dave Bautista jumped from the WWE ring to the movies, where he has become one of today’s great action heroes.
Modern action heroes are not like the ones before, they have become more comical, multifaceted and can no longer depend only on their muscles and perform the most dangerous stunts, plus they no longer want to do just that and many also seek to become into serious actors with more and better projects.
Dave Bautista started small, with small roles in movies like Specter and Riddick, but he won over fans, and apparently casting directors as well, and has landed him some very interesting roles.
Now he’s got a project with M. Night Shyamalan, he’s already appeared in an Oscar-nominated movie, and he’s a fixture in the MCU as part of the Guardians of the Galaxy team , and pretty much all of his movies are warranties (and there are enough to make a marathon as it should).
