Dave Bautista’s role in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery had been far better than what fans had expected.
He is not the first wrestler who became an actor and certainly won’t be the last, but his range in cinema has been an astonishing one. He is an exceptionally talented actor and the director of the spin-off would agree as well.
His acting credits range from Army of the Dead to Guardians of the Galaxy. He can portray serious and humorous roles, and he can flip between the two with equal ease. Fans, however, started contrasting his career with that of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson after Rian Johnson named him the best wrestler-turned-actor.
Dave Bautista And Dwayne Johnson Get Compared As Actors
Dave Bautista’s latest role shows him as a men’s rights streamer on Twitch who gets invited to a private island for a vacation in the story of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. Dwayne Johnson‘s latest role shows him taking up the mantel of Black Adam in the DC Universe. Both actors are now part of superhero franchises and while Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is going to be released very soon with Bautista as Drax the Destroyer, Black Adam’s sequel is still far from being made.
Dwayne Johnson
“I absolutely 100 percent agree. And I think somebody like [Paul Thomas Anderson] is going to give him a real part and is gonna look like a genius. As a person, Bautista is genuinely, immediately vulnerable when you meet him, and that’s what I was excited about. This is someone who has the physical trappings of someone who would play it big, but he actually brings sensitivity to the role.”
It has frequently been noted that Bautista’s acting profession offers a vast array of opportunities that best display his talent. On the other side, Dwayne Johnson frequently appears in characters that are identical to one another. Even though he gets to pick his movies and is a far larger actor than Bautista, he decides against pushing himself. The actor from Army of the Dead astonished even Knives Out director Rian Johnson by accepting the part and fitting into it so well.
Fans Mock Dwayne Johnson For Being Forgotten As A Wrestler-Turned-Actor
Dave Bautista’s Drax the Destroyer
Upon hearing Rian Johnson’s opinion, fans instantly took to trolling The Rock for his monotonous roles that lack any solid range. While they also bring up other wrestler-turned-actors, none compare to Dave Bautista’s extensive range. Fans deem the only competitor he has is John Cena, who too isn’t afraid to take up a challenge.
They pointed out how Dwayne Johnson is not seen stepping out of his comfort zone and only plays roles that would match his personality and in turn, he would be playing as himself. Even though he has been in the Hollywood industry for much longer than either of the two, The Rock falls behind in terms of range.
