Dave Bautista, Edward Norton and Janelle Monae join Knives Out 2 for Netflix

Dave Bautista’s recent venture ‘Army of the Dead’ directed by Zack Snyder is streaming successfully on the OTT platform and the actor is garnering praise for his action-oriented yet intensely dramatic performance. The actor has paved his path as the leading man in huge Hollywood films over the years starting from his legendary status as a wrestler.

Dave Bautista has revealed he wants to start working as a director as soon as possible.The 52-year-old former wrestler said he had been planning to move behind the camera for years, but isn’t looking to replicate the kind of big-budget films he’s acted in – including Zack Snyder’s new Netflix zombie epic Army Of The Dead.Speaking to SFX Magazine (per Contactmusic), Bautista explained: “That’s kind of been my goal for years.

Dave Bautista has big Hollywood plans!

"Guardians of the Galaxy" star Dave Bautista is ready to bow out of the franchise. The 52-year-old wrestler-turned-actor quickly became a fan favorite in 2014 when he played Drax the Destroyer in the massively popular Marvel film alongside Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and more.

Dave Bautista is "really bothered" that he hasn't met his 'Army of the Dead' co-star Tig Notaro. The 50-year-old comedy star digitally replaced Chris D’Elia - who was accused of sexual impropriety by multiple women last year - in Zack Snyder's comedy flick, and when the 52-year-old wrestler-turned-actor watches the movie back, he wishes he could give her hug and tell her how "amazing" she was in the role of Marianne Peters.

Knives Out 2, the sequel to Knives Out, is shaping up to have one amazing cast!

Dave Bautista is looking back at his career.

Maybe it’s his breakout career as a professional wrestler or just his fairly quick rise as an A-list actor, but there’s no denying that Dave Bautista is a confident man. And why shouldn’t he be? He’s starred in massive blockbusters and has amassed a huge fan following in a relatively short amount of time in feature films.

Kathryn Hahn left us majorly impressed as the villainous Agatha in Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany starrer WandaVision as Agatha All Along continues to be hummed ceremoniously by the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) fans across the globe. It looks like Kathryn desires to keep her momentum going on if her next project is any inclination.

Army of the Dead star Dave Bautista, WanadaVision's Kathryn Hahn, The Incredible Hulk's Edward Norton and Homecoming's Janelle Monáe have joined the Knives Out sequel for Netflix. It means Bautista, who famously clashed with James Bond as Blofeld's henchman Mr Hinx in Spectre, will be appearing alongside Daniel Craig once again (via Deadline).

Kathryn Hahn's knives were out all along.
