Guardians Of The Galaxy was a box office smash hit in 2014. Playing the role of 'Drax The Destroyer', Batista earned rave reviews for his performance. The movie pulled in over $700 million in revenue, and was the most-watched superhero flick of the year. Even before it was released, the film was predicted to succeed. It's a good sign for Batista's acting career that he was even considered for a part. Previously, the wrestler had played the role of 'Diaz' in Riddick. He's also cut his teeth in many straight-to-DVD movies, none of which were lambasted heavily by critics. They weren't exactly lauded as brilliant, but they helped the man learn his new craft and network in Hollywood. Due to the fact he's making money from acting, there's no real need for Batista to return to the WWE spotlight. Films such as Heist and Spectre have been wrapped up and are currently in post-production. In addition to those, Batista is also currently filming the likes of Kickboxer: Vengeance, Marauders and Warrior's Gate. The big man has a lot on his acting plate, and Hollywood is treating him well. It's unlikely he'll ever become a star the size of The Rock, but he's able to make a good living from shooting movies.
