Every Batista Movie Ranked From Worst To Best
4. Spectre
Realistically, this should have been the best Batista could ever hope for. A simple, barely-speaking part as a heavy in a major motion picture. That he's simultaneously getting gigs like this *and* compelling character work is extraordinary.
James Bond has a rich history of henchmen, from Oddjob to Nick Nack to Xenia Onatopp, and even some unproblematic ones as well... although nobody remembers those. Playing Mr Hinx, a high-ranking assassin for SPECTRE, was a huge get for a former pro-wrestler.
In a movie that was as much a miss as it was a hit there wasn't all that much for Dave to do here, but I mean, sh*t, it's a James Bond film! Triple H was doing a Scooby-Doo movie that year...
