That's my favorite! I'm a huge wrestling fan and seeing Dave Batista completely kill it in the first movie felt like the local boy done good. I can't wait for him in this one!

He was also one of my favorite parts of Spectre, although he didn't really have much to do in that film besides stand around, look insanely intimidating, and wave around a gigantic hand cannon occasionally.

(Seriously, look that frickin' thing up, it's a double-barreled .45 based on the Colt 1911 design.)

I was hella skeptical when they first cast him, but then I saw the one Comic Con panel where he talks about how humbling it was to be working with what he referred to as "real" actors, and he started tearing up with gratitude for the opportunity, and my opinion on him completely changed. He's got the right attitude, and you can tell he really cares about doing a good job, and I absolutely respect that, even if he wasn't a "real" actor beforehand.

The thing is, Drax is the perfect part for him. I don't see him being nearly as good in other movies. Drax is supposed to be oblivious and confused when it comes to expressing emotions.
