7 People You Didn't Know Appear In 3 Different Sports Video Games Genres

7. Honorary Mention: Dave Bautista

Before getting into the meat of this list, Dave Bautista is more than worthy of a special shout out.

These days, Big Dave is known as an actor who loves to push himself with a variety of different roles, from Drax in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, to Mr Hinx in the James Bond franchise, to Sapper Morton in Blade Runner 2049, to Tong Po in Kickboxer: Vengeance.

Affectionately known as the Animal, Bautista famously first made his mark as a professional wrestler, having been a huge part of WWE throughout the 2000s and beyond. As part of that, that meant that Bautista - or Batista, as his wrestling moniker was spelt - has appeared in a total of 22 WWE video games across the years.

There are no other 'sport' games for Dave, but his presence has been felt in other video game offerings. First and foremost, there was an entire ad campaign built around the fact that you can choose to select Batista as Marcus Fenix for the single player campaign mode of Gears 5.

As for a third element here, the likeness of Dave Bautista has also been used for several Marvel-driven releases, with Drax the Destroyer becoming an increasingly popular Marvel character since Dave first brought Drax to life in 2014.
