WWE legend Batista recently spoke with USA Today on his upcoming film Zack Snyder's Army Of The Dead, and the character he plays in the film, which is Scott Ward, a mercenary hired to pull off a heist in a Las Vegas casino overrun by zombies.
Batista said, “I don’t think ever wanted to be that zombie killing machine.” “I think at the end of the day, Scott Ward just really wanted to be a guy who was his own boss. Living a simple life, raising a family. I mean, I think when we find him flipping burgers, you know, his main goal, all he wants in life, is to reconnect with his daughter. Zombies, the heist and everything else that’s going on, it’s all a bit of a backdrop for this redemption story for Scott Ward and Kate Ward.”
Batista then spoke about a WWE action figure he is very proud of that he still has until now and that this particular action figure is something he pulls out every once in a while just to make the people laugh.
Batista said, “There’s so many wrestling action figures that I gave up after awhile.” “But the particular one that you saw in the picture, the head actually flips. And it’s like me with a normal face, then it flips and I have an angry red face! So I pull it out every once in awhile, just to make people laugh.”
Batista's new and upcoming film Army of the Dead is set to stream on Netflix starting May 21st.
