Forget The Rock and John Cena, a MCU alumni has been crowned the best wrestler turned actor

Other WWE wrestlers better take notes.

From classic names like WWE wrestler who stood apart from his peers after moviegoers noticed the range this actor has on the big screen.

Former MCU star, John Cena, which led to the realization that Bautista’s talents may have set a new standard for wrestlers-turned-actors.

People have commented on the acting quality of wrestlers transitioning to the big screen multiple times, with Johnson receiving the most backlash due to his tendency to play the same role to protect his brand. It’s no secret that Cena, and especially Johnson, have stayed within a certain niche and rarely expanded their talents elsewhere, resulting in a waste of potential.

Meanwhile, both filmmakers and Bautista were willing to take risks and allowed the actor to explore new roles. To witness someone branching out and trying something new has surely impressed and excited fans. Maybe that’s why this M. Night Shyamalan film did well during its streaming debut.

People also pointed out his performance in Dune: Part Two, scheduled to release in 2023.

Logan Paul wants to have a crack at becoming an actor once more, he better be taking some notes.

If you’re interested in seeing Bautista in a non-comedic role, Knock at the Cabin is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
