10 Upcoming Movies Starring WWE Wrestlers

6. Hotel Artemis (Batista)

Escape Plan 2 Batista
Global Road Entertainment

Compared to the four movies we've looked at so far, Hotel Artemis seems slightly out of place. Not only is it not being produced by WWE Studios, it also stars the Academy Award-winning Jodie Foster in its lead role.

The Silence of the Lambs star will play a woman (ugh, typecast again) who sets up a hospital for criminals in a dystopian vision of future Los Angeles. Sterling K. Brown and Jeff Goldblum, among others, are in supporting roles.

Our boy Batista is playing a man named Everest, who from the trailer appears to be a bad-tempered ask-questions-later kind of guy, which makes a refreshing change from his roles in Spectre, Guardians of the Galaxy and Blade Runner 2049.

In all seriousness, this film looks like a decent action flick. For a guy who many fans wrote off as shallow and generic, Big Dave is doing pretty well for himself on the silver screen.
