Dave Bautista Poised to Play Iconic “Highlander” Villain Opposite Henry Cavill in Amazon MGM’s Remake

Dave Bautista can play the heavy.

The talented actor is well-regarded for not only playing villains, however, although he’s been aces in roles where his brawn has been used to aid his brutish beliefs, specifically in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune and Dune: Part Two. Yet Bautista’s been just as good playing more complicated brawlers, like he did in Villeneuve’s Blade Runner: 2049 and M. Night Shyamalan’s Knock at the Cabin.
