Nash is a 52 year old former pro wrestler turned actor following in the footsteps of similar entertainers like Hulk Hogan and The Rock. Nash was in 2004's Punisher as the villainous Russian and did a pretty good job. Standing 6'-11" and weighing 315 lbs, it's likely that he's playing a similar role in this film but that's just my educated guess.
Numerous sites are reporting that Kevin Nash has a big role in the upcoming Ghost Rider sequel. With his participation secret until now, I have to wonder what his role could possibly be? Besides featuring in the
Punisher Nash's past acting credits include:
- Super Shredder in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (1991)
- Guard Engleheart in The Longest Yard (2005)
- Bass Armstrong in DOA: Dead or Alive (2006)
- Jayden Jacobs in River of Darkness (2010)
- Odin in Almighty Thor (2011)
- Colonel Crookshank in Monster Brawl (2011)

As the
The Russian in Punisher, Nash didn't do much besides fight with Jane. That movies' shortcoming aside, Nash deserves some optimism here because he was actually very good in those scenes.
With the main villain set to be Blackout, who do you think Nash could be playing? According to Johnny Whitworth, who will be playing
Blackout, his character starts out as human before being turned into the demonic
blackout to clash with Ghost Rider. Might there be others [henchman] that get turned as well?
