Next Great BOND Henchman To Be GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY's Dave Bautista
Latino-Review's scooper supreme, El Mayimbe, is reporting that director Sam Mendes has chosen Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista to be a henchman in the next James Bond film.
"Nothing goes over my head! My reflexes are too fast. I would catch it."
Over the decades, James Bond films have produced some iconic henchmen: 'Nick Nack' (Hervé Villechaize) from The Man with the Golden Gun (1974), 'Jaws' (Richard Kiel) from The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker, as well as 'Oddjob' (Harold Sakata) from Goldfinger. Director Sam Mendes ("Skyfall") is looking to create his own iconic henchman for Bond 24. According to Latino-Review's El Mayimbe, that henchman will be played by former WWE wrestler Dave Bautista. You know him as 'Drax' from Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. This will be the same role that were learned about in August when a casting call leaked for a character named, 'Hinx.'
Hinx (Male, 30 – 45) - 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.
BOND 24 will be directed by Sam Mendes ("Skyfall"), from a screenplay written by John Logan. The cast will include: Daniel Craig as James Bond (007), Ralph Fiennes as M, Naomie Harris as Miss Moneypenny, and Ben Whishaw as Q. The film will be released in the UK and US on October 23, 2015 and November 6, 2015, respectively.
