Marvel star Dave Bautista is best known for action and genre roles. In contrast, he longs for romantic comedies. And fears he’s not good-looking enough for them.
Dave Bautista pursues his acting career with incredible dedication. Unlike many of his fellow former wrestlers, he doesn’t want to commit to a role profile. He shows his action and comedy talent with his MCU appearances, but has already demonstrated sensitivity for quiet tones in Blade Runner 2049, for example. Only romantic roles are missing. And it is precisely this lack that gnaws at him terribly.
Marvel hero Dave Bautista doesn’t get romantic comedies
“I know I’m not a typical actor for romantic comedies. I look a bit rough. But I look at myself in the mirror and think, ‘Am I that unattractive?’ Is there something that excludes me from these roles?” I have never been offered such roles. But I keep looking. “
Bautista’s displeasure, unlike his self-doubt, is certainly not unfounded. Regardless of their actual talent, some stars can have a hard time escaping their role drawer. Even extremely successful actors like Dwayne Johnson or Vin Diesel won’t come to many people’s minds as prime candidates for romantic roles.
What films can Marvel star Dave Bautista be seen in next?
However, Bautista’s Hollywood future offers anything but dull action monotony. He can soon be seen as a vision-stricken intruder in Knock at the Cabin. On 3 May 2023, he will probably make his last MCU appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy 3. Towards the end of the year, he can be seen as a sinister sci-fi villain in Dune 2.
