Los Angeles: ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ star Dave Bautista has rejected the idea of featuring in ‘Fast and Furious’ franchise, throwing major shade and saying he would ‘rather do good films’.
A fan on Twitter propped the professional wrestler-turned-actor as the next entry into the action drama series after John Cena was recently added as a new cast member to the upcoming ‘Fast and Furious 9’.
“@TheRock and @JohnCena will get a ‘Fast and Furious’ spin off also and @DaveBautista will Be the villain,” the fan’s post read.
But, Saturday, Bautista shot down the suggestion with a tweet that also included two ‘throw up’ emojis.
“Thank you for your consideration”, he wrote also with the hashtag: “I’d rather do good films.”
…..thank you for your consideration…
