Former multi-time WWE World Champion Batista has been one of the stars who transitioned his career into acting. He has been delivering some impressive performances in Hollywood. ‘The Animal’ recently dropped a new look while announcing his new project.
Batista reveals a new look
He took to his Instagram account to announce that he is set to begin production on Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Chapter Two,” the sequel to the 2021 Oscar-winning blockbuster. He showed photos of his freshly shaven face, as well as a video of the shaving.
“If ‘the spice must flow’ then the beard must go.”
Bautista will reprise his role as Glossu “Beast” Rabban Harkonen, nephew of the villainous Baron Harkonen. Principal photography on the film began in Budapest, Hungary back in July.
The former world champion wrapped up his in-ring career at WrestleMania 35 when he lost to Triple H in a match that received more appreciation over time. It was a classic against his longtime faction-member and rival, and the only opponent that The Animal wanted to face to end his career in professional wrestling. It wasn’t announced beforehand that it would be his retirement match as he didn’t want to take Kurt Angle’s moment away, with the latter also having his farewell match at the same event.
He recently concluded his role as Drax in Guardians of The Galaxy. It was the same role that gave him his breakout in Hollywood. The multi-time world champion was originally supposed to be the headlining inductee of the Hall of Fame Class of 2020. However, WWE canceled the 2020 Hall of Fame due to the pandemic, and prior commitments were the reason why they couldn’t induct him in 2021.
