Bautista grabs another villain role

Drax the Destroyer from “Guardians of the Galaxy”, Dave Bautista is not just adding villainous muscleman Mr. Hinx in upcoming Bond film “Spectre” to his resume. The WWE Wrestling Champion is now taking up the sword as the pivotal Kurgan in the much anticipated “Highlander” reboot. 

Latino Review, which noted that Bautista was joining “Spectre” as a Bond villain last year, now says that Bautista will be taking on the role of the Kurgan, the 'perfect warrior' that battles the Highlander for immortality -- in that awesome scene at the top of the Silver Cup Studios building in the original film. 

Ryan Reynolds was cast in the lead role of the battling Scottish immortal, but when its erstwhile director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo dropped out, so did Reynolds.  There's been talk of Gerard Butler taking on the role.
