Has WWE Superstar Titus O'Neil Landed A Role In An Upcoming Marvel Studios Movie?
Long before he was Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy, Dave Bautista was a WWE Superstar but is wrestler Titus O'Neil about to join him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Hit the jump for what we know so far.
Wrestlers have a pretty bad rap when it comes to acting but you only need to look at the likes of Dwayne Johnson, John Cena, and Dave Bautista for proof that it is sometimes possible for them to make the leap from the ring to the silver screen. Now, it appears as Titus O'Neil could be about to join them as the tweet below has fans speculating about his future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
While it's possible that O'Neil is comparing his physique to a Marvel superhero, it definitely sounds like the man behind Titus Worldwide could have landed a superhero role of some sort. There's nothing to say it's a major speaking role, of course, as it could be that he's just going to show up in a future release like Captain Marvel or the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel as a nameless thug of some sort.
We'll just have to wait and see what happens but O'Neil recently made headlines for this hilarious botch at the Greatest Royal Rumble, so perhaps that's what brought him to Marvel's attention (he's also close friends with Bautista in real-life).
