Can't wait!

MrReese - 5/24/2013, 12:10 PM

I don't know about his acting chops but he definitely has the look down pat.

brazilianbatman - 5/24/2013, 12:18 PM

this guy should play Bane in the BATMAN REBBOOT

brazilianbatman - 5/24/2013, 12:19 PM

OR Crossbones

BlackPhillip - 5/24/2013, 12:29 PM

Funny how Bautista mentions The Rock in his tweet. Rock was my top choice to play Drax. I can't wait for this movie!

MarvelWeiner - 5/24/2013, 12:29 PM

lol what's up with his neck?

TheKingsHead - 5/24/2013, 12:40 PM

He's got the V

beane2099 - 5/24/2013, 12:41 PM

Man, they've really changed Drax's look. I can get behind the ink covered beef cake and grey sweat shorts look though. Haw.

Brainiac13 - 5/24/2013, 12:41 PM

@Gusto

I'll pay to see that!

MartianSupermanhunter22 - 5/24/2013, 12:41 PM

What a tool bag. Sick tribal bro.

beane2099 - 5/24/2013, 12:42 PM

Those traps are fierce though. I'm pretty sure Batista's traps alone could kick my ass. Just sayin'.

ATrueHero1987 - 5/24/2013, 12:43 PM

After TA2, this & Thor:TDW tie-in for my most anticipated movie from phase 2!

Natetrix79 - 5/24/2013, 12:44 PM

Stop hate'n on wrestlers, anyone that can look at some of those fans without laughing deserves an Oscar!!!!

TelaVizion - 5/24/2013, 12:44 PM

damn

blogger234 - 5/24/2013, 12:45 PM

where's the green makeup

Gmoney84 - 5/24/2013, 12:45 PM

Damn, that dude is jacked. If nothing else he will look the part of Drax for sure.

TelaVizion - 5/24/2013, 12:46 PM

I'm still waiting for Rock's Marvel franchise... He would make a great villain, but you can't get a franchise being a villain (Unless they actually a villain movie franchise/which would be great and different)

thebearjew - 5/24/2013, 12:46 PM

A i the only one who thought for a second this was about martian manhunter? And got really excited

Dont get me wrong im excited for this movie

amxt - 5/24/2013, 12:46 PM

Dare I say this is typecasting?

beane2099 - 5/24/2013, 12:46 PM

Bautista always had a great ring presence. And I've liked him in the movies I've seen him in.

iam8bit - 5/24/2013, 12:54 PM

'Roids: Not even once.

TheClemster - 5/24/2013, 12:54 PM

give me 5 bucks and I will slap him across the face,...

Then die. But I would do anything for a fiver. Times are hard man!!!

SageMode - 5/24/2013, 12:56 PM

Dude is a beast. Can't wait to see him as Drax

MarkV - 5/24/2013, 12:58 PM

Hormone Replacement Therapy

Looks like a little synthol in the delts.

TheClemster - 5/24/2013, 12:58 PM

Jokes apart I am sold onhim playing drax, the pis above give a great comparison and with the right make up it will look awesome.

Bring the double knives!!!!

SpideyQuad - 5/24/2013, 12:59 PM

Hasn't anyone learned anything from last night? Agree with me or you all end up in the hall of shame!

exe - 5/24/2013, 1:02 PM

He won't be acting or talking much in the movie.

But damn he looks the part.

Wallymelon - 5/24/2013, 1:04 PM
