Believe it or not Dave Batista is a  solidified movie star now. After killing it as the alien bad ass Drax in Marvel’s worldwide blockbuster movie Guardians of the Galaxy, Batista is rumored to be receiving new film offers weekly. The latest may be his biggest to date and a sign that Hollywood has accepted him as one of their A-listers.

The next great Tinsel Town conquest for Dave may be the role of Hinx in the new James Bond movie. The casting call for the film was pretty specific and Dave was a natural fit for the part.

Ideally over 6? 2?. Hinx is the main henchman/assassin. We are looking for an imposing extremely physically fit actor. He has several fights with Bond and will have to have stunt training. He has to drive. We are looking for someone very unusual, possibly from a sports background.

We have no idea about Dave’s driving skills, but we can tell you that in Hollywood if you can’t do something and they say the part requires it, the solution is always the same. Tell them you can do what they are asking, get the part, and then go learn how. An actor friend of PMN did just that with horse riding for the film Bad Blood.

Bond 24 will begin filming on December 6th with Daniel Craig reprising the role of James Bond for the fourth time. If the film is on par with the previous post-reboot movies it should do very well and solidly place Batista in an elite group of working actors.
