From Drax To Hinx – Is Dave Bautista In The Next Bond Film?

Published Mon, 13 Oct 2014 10:30:33 -0500

What do you do after going toe-to-toe with Ronan the Accuser in the biggest movie of the year? If you are Dave Bautista the answer may be you try to kill Bond… James Bond.

Word is that Bautista, hot of his career-making performance as Drax the Destoryer has joined the cast of the soon-to-film Bond 24. Staying with the success of a four-letter name with an X at the end, Bautista is said to be playing the role of Hinx. If that names sounds familiar it's because a few weeks ago we heard that the Bond folks were looking for a new henchmen to put up against 007, similar to the characters of Oddjob or Jaws.

"Hinx (Male, 30 – 45)"

"Ideally over 6? 2?. Hinx is the main henchman/assassin. We are looking for an imposing extremely physically fit actor. He has several fights with Bond and will have to have stunt training. He has to drive. We are looking for someone very unusual, possibly from a sports background."

I'm not sure about the driving part, but Bautista fits the rest of that bill. The as-yet-to-be-named Bond 24 begins filming December 6th at Pinewood Studios in England as well as a handful of international locations. Daniel Craig is returning to the title role for his fourth time and Skyfall director Sam Mendes is coming with him.
