Exclusive. Dave Bautista, who plays Mr. Hinx in the upcoming James Bond film, is a hard nut to crack.

Very little is known about the 24th flick in the franchise, Spectre – which hits cinemas later this year – but shedding a glimmer of light, the former wrestler has teased that not to expect a ‘stereotypical bad guy’.

Speaking to Metro.co.uk at the European Premiere of Avengers: Age Of Ultron, the 46-year-old said: ‘It’s fun to play a bad guy. I think I make an interesting one – not your stereotypical bad guy.’

While he names Gold Finger and Blofeld as his favourite Bond villains, don’t expect to see him channeling either as he teases ‘something new, fresh and different’.




Not a stranger to the Marvel world having played Drax in last year’s Guardians Of The Galaxy, Bautista also said that he would be up for a crossover with fellow comic book faves the Avengers.

‘Strictly as a fan boy I hope that the worlds collide and we get together with the Avengers,’ he smiled.

Well, judging by the warm reception he got from Robert Downey Jr, AKA Iron Man, on the red – or in this case black – carpet, there’s definitely scope for that to happen.

Avengers: Age Of Ultron is released UK nationwide from tomorrow.
