A fan recently took to Twitter and re-tweeted a comment from WWE legend John Cena, where he expressed interest in doing a movie with fellow WWE legend The Rock, while also saying that Dave Batista should be included in the mix. Batista responded to the fan and said he's not interested. Dave Batista said, "Nah I’m good!!"
Back in 2019, Batista also took a shot at The Rock and John Cena, when he said that The Rock is not a great actor and he wants better roles than what The Rock has. Batista also said he wants to work with Academy Award winners, not with The Rock or John Cena as he should not be compared to them since they are wrestlers who became movie stars, while he was a wrestler who is now an actor.
Batista said:
“Would I consider him a great actor? F— no.” “I want good roles. I don’t care about Fast and Furious or Bumblebee. That’s not the kind of stardom I want. I want to be in Dune. I want to work with Denis Villeneuve, Sam Mendes and Jodie Foster. I want to work with Academy Award winners. I’m proud to be a character actor. I want that respect and credibility and education.”
“Do not compare me to The Rock or John Cena. Those guys are wrestlers who became movie stars. I’m … something else. I was a wrestler. Now, I’m an actor.”
