Former WWE star turned Hollywood actor Dave Bautista is hoping he and his Spectre character will see a return for Bond 25.
With his upcoming return as Drax in the much anticipated Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, the actor is also eyeing another return, saying that he would love for his character Mr. Hinx to appear in Bond 25 should Daniel Craig sign on for another outing as 007.
Speaking to the Metro, Bautista said, “Believe me we’re talking about it a lot. We’re waiting at home with our fingers crossed … We’re waiting for the news to see if Daniel will sign up for Bond 25, because then there’s a chance that Hinx will come back.”

While Hinx was presumed dead in Spectre, the door is open for his potential return, although it appears that will only be the case if Craig remains on board. That also seems to suggest that the story for Bond 25 could change considerably depending on who is potraying the super spy when it does finally move ahead.
Look out for Dave Bautista this Friday with the UK release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and let us know if you’d like to see him back for Bond 25…
