Bautista will be starring in Zack Snyder’s zombie heist movie, Army of Dead on Netflix. Dave Bautista apparently turned down a role in the Suicide Squad for this film which has us intrigued as Suicide Squad is a hit film that he would be perfect in. “I read the script and [Army of the Dead] was a lot deeper and had more layers than I thought. Also, to be quite frank, I wanted to work with Zack.”
In the end, Army of the Dead had more to offer the wrestler turned actor, more money and a chance to work with Snyder. He’s pretty satisfied with his decision and even more excited about working with Snyder who has already garnished quite a serious reputation in the comic world.
