Dave Bautista is one of the few successful wrestlers who have made it big in Hollywood, alongside John Cena and The Rock. He already has a blockbuster movie under his belt, with Dune 2 collecting over $700 million worldwide. Currently, he is busy promoting his upcoming project, Killer’s Game, which will be released on September 12th.

The Animal took to Instagram to share a selfie from the promotion of his other film, The Last Showgirl. He was seen wearing a black suit and flaunting his white beard while giving interviews. Dave Bautista recently posted a picture with WWE star Drew McIntyre from media day. For those who are unaware, The Scottish Warrior has a supporting role in this film.

The film follows a top hitman, portrayed by Bautista, who is diagnosed with a terminal illness. Distraught by the news, he chooses to take control of his fate by placing a contract on his own life. When the hitmen also target his ex-girlfriend, he resolves to fight off his adversaries and win back the love of his life. The film also features stars like Sofia Boutella, Terry Crews, Pom Klementieff, and Ben Kingsley.

During McIntyre’s unique Strap match against his arch-nemesis CM Punk, Killer’s Game was advertised prominently on the LED barricades. Many fans expressed their desire to see The Animal in the squared circle once again. However, Bautista made his intentions clear by stating that he felt fortunate to have retired exactly the way he wanted.

The speculation about Bautista’s health is nothing new. Fans are used to seeing him in peak physical condition because of his days with the Stamford-based company. However, it is unrealistic to expect him to be in that kind of shape even after retirement.
