Dave Bautista is set to star in a movie that will see him reunite with his Bushwick directors, Cary Murnion and Jonathan Milott, after finding success with the 2017 project.
Deadline reported today that the future WWE Hall of Famer will star in the dystopian thriller Dreadnought. Joseph Greenberg wrote it. The plot summary for \'Dreadnought\' can be found below:
Max (Bautista), whose world was devastated when an alien species crash-landed on Earth, unleashing a deadly plague that claimed his wife and much of humanity. In the fragile society that remains, humans have learned to coexist with their extraterrestrial invaders. But for Max, survival isn’t enough.
“His older daughter, Greta, is dying from the disease. As her body weakens, an alien Sentinel lurks outside their home, drawing nearer and nearer as Greta takes her final breaths. This silent, unyielding predator is on a mission to collect her body to fulfill an unstoppable metamorphosis ritual. The government sanctions it. Society accepts it. But Max refuses to have anything else taken from him.
Bautista’s breakout moment came when he was cast as Drax the Destroyer in Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy (2014). His portrayal of the literal-minded but lovable alien warrior won audiences over and showcased his comedic timing. Drax became a fan favorite, and Bautista reprised the role in subsequent Marvel films.
Bautista\'s In The Lost Lands movie will hit theaters on March 7, 2025.
