Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista takes a leading role with an emotional twist in Zack Snyder’s new Netflix action movie Army of the Dead. Bautista says all the roles he’s currently getting — including in Rian Johnson’s Knives Out 2 — are a welcome distraction from his plan to direct inspirational dramas, but for now, he’s enjoying the attention. Here’s how he used his own traumas to shape his Army of the Dead character, how he worked with Snyder, and his thoughts on the dream roles he was born to play, including Bane villain Batman.
