Batista’s film career is going quite well, but he’s not rushing to appear with The Rock & John Cena in a movie at this point. The Guardians of the Galaxy and Army of the Dead star was recently tagged by a fan on social media regarding a quote from Cena where he said he’d be interested in doing a film with Rock. Cena told Complex while promoting F9: The Fast Saga, “As somebody who enjoys entertainment, I’m intrigued [at the possibility of working with The Rock]. I feel that would be entertaining. There’s a lot more than my opinion that’s gonna have to work to connect those dots, but I think it would be entertaining. So, I’m in.”

When the fan said to “throw [Batista] in the mix too” and tagged the actor, Batista retweeted with “Nah I’m good!!”

Batista has a busy film slate coming up, with a role in the upcoming Dune as well as Thor: Love and Thunder, where he will reprise the role of Drax, along with Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3. He is also starring in the animated Army of the Dead prequel Lost Vegas as well as Knives Out 2 for Netflix, plus Universe’s Most Wanted.
