Bautista has previously starred in the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' MCU movies as Drax the Destroyer and has been praised by director James Gunn for what he has brought to the franchise.
In a gushing Twitter thread responding to questions on why Bautista is such a good actor, James wrote: "Bc @DaveBautista takes the craft seriously. He's grounded in real emotion & not showy. The difference between Dave and many wrestler-actors is when you look in his eyes on set he's in the place he's supposed to be, not thinking about what he's going to do next."
Bane previously was played by Tom Hardy in Christopher Nolan's concluding 'Dark Knight Trilogy' movie 'The Dark Knight Rises' in which he fought with Christian Bale's Batman.
