Actor Dave Bautista is now making quite a name for himself in Hollywood. The WWE star pretty much broke through with his role as Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy and after a lot of other blockbusters he recently popped up in Dune.
In the Marvel movie, he plays the character Drax, while in Dune can be seen as Glossu Rabban Harkonnen, the older cousin of the great villain Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. It turns out he has a lot more fun playing ‘The Beast’ than the “dumb” Drax.
“This character was just gave me the chance to show a different kind of performance. And that’s what I really love about working with director Denis Villeneuve, I get the chance to show a different side of myself,” Bautista told ABC News.

“I’m not just some guy in Guardians of the Galaxy walking around shirtless and saying stupid things. The role [in Dune] really gives me a chance to play a real, real content character. So that’s a blessing,” added Bautista.
And most likely he will be able to do that again soon. Recently it became clear that Dune: Part Two to hit theaters in 2023. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 appears a few months earlier and in it Bautista returns as Drax one more time.
