Well this would be interesting, though Hinx is a terrible name

http://www.latino-review.com/news/exclusive-bags-bond-henchman-hinx-role-in-bond-24

Seems like the found their guy because according to sources, Dave Bautista, mega hot off his career making role as Drax The Destroyer in Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy, has bagged the role of HINX in the upcoming Bond 24!

 

[Surface of Me]

Batista seems perfect for this.

 

[Solo]

Hate the name, hate the casting. LR has been dubious at best lately though so we will see.

 

[FallingEdge]

 

[BLACKLAC]

Getting that work.

Good for him.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

He put over Daniel Bryan, now he'll put over Bond.

He's a winner in my book.

 

[Joel Was Right]

He was the stand out in GotG for me and I hope he impresses in Bond. Batista may be able to actually act

 

[shira]

I hope he gets to use some choice GotG lines in this movie

Drax the Destroyer: NOTHING goes over my head!... My reflexes are too fast, I would catch it.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Good choice. He was great in GOTG. Good to see him getting high-profile work.

 

[NYR]

Good guy who got unfairly skewered by wrestling fans on his return this year because he got in the way of the chosen one, Daniel Bryan. Always will respect him for sucking it up and still putting him over.

 

[Zeus Molecules]

I still feel Drax worked so well because they needed him to be a bad actor for those lines to pop, and he is just a bad actor.....

With that said he should make a great Bond henchman it's well within his range. I hope they give him some gimmick that unique/iconic that is a bit over the top to use when fighting.

 

[BeatResetsTheWorld]

My exact reaction

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I look forward to his 4 minutes of screen time.

 

[JdFoX187]

This fucking gif. I can't stop laughing.

 

[jett]

There is only one Batista

I'm really rooting for him to keep getting high profile work. Being a Bond henchman hasn't been so prolific lately, but just being attached to a Bond film is a big deal.

 

[rude]

With how streamlined the last two Bonds were, he'll probably be in the film for maybe 5 mins before he gets brutally murdered.

 

[JDSN]

What? His delivery of his jokes were pretty good and the character itself was so weird and specific that it seems really far fetched to consider that they just happened to find some famous wrestler that was a fan of the comic that doesnt understand figure of speech.

 

[Mr.Swag]

The description of the guy they were looking for was exactly how Id describe Batista.


Cant wait for FF8 when rock and batista go at it.

 

[shwimpy]

Good thing he already knows how to use a machine gun.

I don't know. Batista IS a pretty shitty actor. I just think it might be a case where Drax (which he nailed) was just the perfect role for him, kind of like Keanu with Matrix.

 

[udiie]

Good thing he already knows how to use a machine gun.

LOL

 

[Nerdkiller]

Good thing he already knows how to use a machine gun.

Afterall, weapons are not only welcomed...they're allowed.

 

[Sub_Level]

Good thing he already knows how to use a machine gun.

 

[BronsonLee]

Hate the name, hate the casting. LR has been dubious at best lately though so we will see.

...For the record, this was not my first choice

I wanted to use the one of Batista piefacing Rey, but couldn't find it

 

[BLACKLAC]

His comedic timing was on point. Knew he would deliver after Riddick.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Brotista is not only welcomed, he's allowed.

 

[temp]

There is only one Batista

That's right! Ruthless pre-revolution Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista!

 

[Ermac]

Can't wait to seee him Batista Bomb Daniel Craig through an Aston Martin.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

He was kind of the worst part of Riddick and GotG, but I guess people like him. Looking forward to seeing him powerbomb Daniel Craig through a table.

 

[MattyG]

He was kind of the worst part of Riddick and GotG, but I guess people like him. Looking forward to seeing him powerbomb Daniel Craig through a table.

What? He was excellent in GOTG, whatchu talkin' 'bout?

I dunno, man. Gamora was terrible and Zoe couldn't save her.

 

[speculawyer]

The former leader of Cuba? I think he's dead.

The villain in Moonraker? I thought he was lame. This is so confusing. I just feel like we are talking about different things.

 

[watershed]

He was good in GOTG and I can easily see him as yet another bulky Bond Henchman.

 

[VisionaryQuest0]

Eh, I'll take it. Can they cast Chiwetel Ejiofor as the lead bad guy?

 

[Femmeworth]

There is only one Batista

Immediately who I thought of.

 

[Big Baybee]

Liked him in Riddick, liked him in Guardians. He's pretty good.

 

[AuthenticM]

good

Immediately who I thought of.

Same, haha.

 

[RS4-]

Bondtista. Do it.

 

[liquidtmd]

There is only one Batista

If he was the henchman the movie would be four hours long and his screentime would consist of mumbling and him looking puzzled with two quizzical looks throughout not realising who Bond was despite him shooting the place up and showing a badge that says "HELLO I AM JAMES BOND SECRET AGENT 007".

 

[Riposte]

...For the record, this was not my first choice

Wow, there's a gif of Batista killing Ja Rule, the internet has everything.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

but he'd get gassed too quickly

 

[MarkMclovin]

As long as he doesn't talk.

 

[CountAntonius]

There is only one Batista

Looks like a Cuban Adam Corolla.

 

[enzo_gt]

Man, I couldn't be more happy for the guy. He was so humble about auditioning a million times for and getting the role in GotG and his hopes that it would open up doors and I'm glad it has. He must be ecstatic.

 

[terribletwo]

There was a rumor that the next Bond wanted to have a significant henchman ala Jaws so i could believe it

 

[Ban Puncher]

Good thing he already knows how to use a machine gun.

 

[Foxy Fox 39]

There is only one Batista

I like the guy but I hate his acting. I don't think I've ever enjoyed him in any role.

 

[Hours Left]

Cool. He was the biggest (pleasant) surprise of GotG IMO.
