According to Latino-Review.com, Batista has joined the cast of the untitled 24th James Bond movie playing a villain going by the name or codename of Hinx. There were rumors going about in August of Batista joining the cast of the film and, as of right now, it seems to be happening. MI-6.com, sort of the official website of all things James Bond, put this up in regards to Hinx:
"Whoever wins the role will have several altercations with Daniel Craigs 007 throughout the film and also a driving sequence. Former sports athletes will be under consideration along with anyone very unusual The goal is to find the next Jaws or Oddjob a henchman so different to anything that has gone before that they will become instantly iconic in the film series.
Oddjob & Jaws, probably the two most iconic Bond henchmen, were both physically imposing men, so Batista definitely the bill there. Oddjob's real name was Toshiyuki "Harold" Sakata worked as a professional wrestler from the early 50s through the mid 70s under the name of Tosh Togo. He was a successful singles & tag team wrestler in various NWA territories including Dallas, Hawaii, the Pacific Northwest and California. Prior to his wrestling career, Sakata represented the United States at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, winning the Silver medal as a light heavyweight. Jaws was portrayed by actor Richard Kiel, who stood 7'2" tall and played henchmen or tough guys in a lot of films and TV shows. He was one of the original choices to portray The Incredible Hulk in the TV series because of his height, but ultimately lost out because he didn't have the muscular build producers ultimately decided the character had to have.
