During the interview, here’s what he had to say,
“I was having a conversation with (director JJ Perry) and he said ‘I need a great big guy who’s almost intimidating to you, a guy who’d be bigger than you, and I also need him to be able to pull off a Scottish accent. Do you know anybody?’ I was like ‘man, I’ve got the perfect guy!’“I immediately thought of Drew, I love Drew, I’ve always gotten along well with Drew. I’ve known Drew since he was a teenager, I think he was like 18 or 19 when I met him.“I pointed them in his direction, sent a bunch of pictures and reference stuff and was like ‘it’s this guy, don’t even look any further.'”Dave Bautista is currently waiting the release of his movie called The Killer’s Game where he plays the role of an assassin who’s running away from other assassin’s after calling a hit on himself as a result of a wrongful terminal illness report.
The movie will revolve around how he navigates his way around all the assassins who are after his life.
For the role, he’s lost a lot of weight which caused fans to express concern about his current shape. The movie is set to release on September 13 in United States of America followed by a global release, so it will be interesting to see how fans from around the world receive this new movie of his.
