Batista Addresses Rumor That He’s Slated To Play Bane In Upcoming Batman Movie

Batista gets to play a lot of very cool roles on screen, but one is not happening for him. He really wanted to play the popular Batman villain Bane. Despite his best efforts it’s not meant to be.

It’s unclear why the powers-that-be behind the Batman franchise didn’t want Batista in the role. It could have more to do with the fact that he already plays Drax The Destroyer, a key role in the Guardians Of The Galaxy films.
