Dave Bautista is set to start in an M. Night Shyamalan movie titled “Knock at the Cabin” according to a report from Deadline and the Hollywood Reporter. The movie is scheduled for a February 2023 release.


The film will be released through Universal. Shyamalan has released Old (2021), Glass (2019), Split (2017) and The Visit (2015) through his deal with the studio. As with most Shyamalan movies before its release, little is currently known about the plot of the movie.


Bautista is currently filming Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 where he will once again portray Drax the Destroyer in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He is also set to play Drax in the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder. Bautista has also been attached to a buddy cop film alongside Jason Momoa.

In wrestling, Bautista is a 6x world champion. He held the WWE Championship 2x and the World Heavyweight Championship 4x. He is a 4x tag team champion, holding the title with Ric Flair 2x, John Cena 1x, and Rey Mysterio once as well. Bautista is a 2x Royal Rumble winner having won the event in 2005 and again in 2014. He twice won the Feud of the Year award as voted on by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Bautista vs Triple H was voted the feud of the year in 2005 and his feud with the Undertaker won the award in 2007.

A buddy cop film with Jason Momoa? I'm interested in that if true.

Who's second?
Was 50-50 on putting Batista at 2 honestly. Cena has potential but he’ll never be in a movie that grosses as much money as the last 2 Avengers so I stand corrected…

Batista is second most successful

Yeah I was wondering if I was blanking on someone lol haven't looked at box office numbers and shit but it def feels like Batista is more successful. Cena probably has more starring roles but also in worse movies lol where Batista will be a lesser role in major movies. But he's getting more and more good ones it seems, I'm hype af for the Momoa buddy cop movie tbh :lol

Hulk Hogan
Rowdy Roddy Piper
Batista/Cena
The Rock

Cena has definitely had more starring roles, I don’t see Batista as a leading actor. He’s his best as a supporting actor.

I am interested in the Batista/Momoa movie though

M. Night has made some decent films lately, so I'm more hopeful. His movies have been very hit or miss, but he usually has cool ideas. I enjoyed Split a lot.

Don't forget Andre the Giant. Man was in one of the most beloved movies of the 1980s
