In an interview with IGN Fan Fest, Bautista said that a certain scene from Dune: Part Two was a “dream” for him to perform, which, he said, required full acceptance as true from director Denis Villeneuve. We may not say what that scene is because the movie may not be released until March 1, but we’re going to share Bautista’s mind spoiler-free.
“I think it’s the only time you get to see the true essence of Rabban,” Bautista said. “Most actors might look at that scene and think, ‘I don’t need to do this. ‘And I read that scene and I was like, ‘Man, this is amazing. ‘Because that’s when you can see the other layers of the character and that’s when you see who Rabban is.
“Any big, tough guy can play this big, menacing, menacing brute. But when you layer it up, especially right now, it’s an artist’s dream. That’s my dream.
“And that’s what I like: having the confidence of Denis, who knows that I can succeed right now, because that validates me. I’ve said I need to be an actor, I need to be a movie star. And it’s at times like that that when I can say, I told you so, you know?I can make my point clear.
Perhaps Bautista’s most prominent role is that of Drax in the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy. Although he gets serious in a matter of moments, Drax plays a comedic role in most of the films, which makes Bautista feel relieved when his tenure ended in 2023. .
“I’m very grateful to Drax, I love him,” Bautista said at the time. “But it’s a relief [that it’s over]. It’s not all pleasant. It’s complicated to play that role. The makeup procedure makes me depressed. “And I just don’t know if I need Drax to be my legacy; It’s a silly performance and I need to do more dramatic things. “
IGN Fan Fest showed off a slew of other major entertainment franchises (even if it’s hard to compare Godzilla and Kong in terms of size), revealing the trailer for the Borderlands movie, revealing the release date for Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths. Part two, and getting a first look at Roku’s Spiderwick Chronicles.
