A couple of days ago, we received our first real casting news for the next James Bond movie as French actress Lea Seydoux apparently landed a major role in the film. Now this week it looks as though Bond 24 has found another new cast member, this one being a major adversary for Daniel Craig throughout the movie. There was a report circulating back in August that the producers were looking to bring in another iconic henchman for this installment, someone in the vein of Oddjob or Jaws. If this latest scoop proves to be accurate, that role will be filled by Drax the Destroyer himself, Dave Bautista. Hit the jump for more details.

According to Latino Review, Dave Bautista has landed a major henchman role in the yet-to-be-titled film, Bond 24. The character’s name is Hinx and the casting description is as follows:

“Hinx (Male, 30 – 45). Ideally over 6′ 2″. Hinx is the main henchman/assassin. We are looking for an imposing extremely physically fit actor. He has several fights with Bond and will have to have stunt training. He has to drive. We are looking for someone very unusual, possibly from a sports background.”

Clearly Bautista fits the bill there, and based on the success of Guardians of the Galaxy, he could potentially be a huge draw for the next Bond flick. If you ask me, they might as well just have him reprise his role as Brass Body from The Man with the Iron Fists… seems like a Bond villain if I ever heard one. Are you psyched to see Dave Bautista face off against Daniel Craig in the next Bond movie?
