Better film career: Hulkster or Batista?

[SmashTV]

Batista has had less releases, but he's been in more quality. Winner.

Hogan's one "release" made him over 100 million 😀

Batista. I'm looking forward to seeing him in Blade Runner 2. He's getting a lot more roles lately so that resume is going to get even bigger in the next few years.

Looking st the cast I'm pretty much expecting him to play the Brion James-type role, so I'm not really getting my hopes up for anything of substance in that one.

I agree. He's not exactly leading man material but it's still a very good role to land. He's clearly doing well picking up some great jobs in some big movies.

I would argue that even Cena's film career is better than Hogan's at this point.

[The Captain]

I'd go with Batista. I don't think Hogan's ever been in any movie as big as Guardians of the Galaxy. And Batista knows his limits as an actor, which is a really good thing to be self-aware about.

Kurgan had a better film career than Hogan if only for the fight scene in Sherlock Holmes.

I expect Batista to have a much larger role in Bladerunner than people are saying. He had to do an expensive screen test to be cast and before that the director said he wasn't right for the part. To me you don't have to fight for bit parts. And he fought for this movie.

All depends on how controlling the director is. James Cameron, Martin Scorsese and Ridley Scott do lengthy screen tests for almost every role regardless of whether it's a featured role or a bit part, while David Fincher and Jose Whedon are a little more relaxed about the casting process. Whether Villeneuve is closer to the first group than the latter pair, I don't know.

Producers wanted Batista director said no. He met with Batista and told him he wasn't right for the role. They did a screen test and he fwll in love with Dave in character. Based on this I really expect him to at least be in. Rutger Hower type role.

Again, it can go a number of ways. Batista's look will always be an obstacle for him for certain roles, as was evidently the case here. I certainly don't expect him to be a nothing role, but equally I would be surprised if he had a role as important as Hauer's was. Part of me actually expects them to go a less obvious route and maybe have Jared Leto in that position.

i forgot Leto was in it. Considering Gosling and Ford are like the leads im expecting Batista and leto to be replicants

Hogan. He got paid 115 million dollars for his last movie.

That is so wrong, but funny!

[Milkman Norm]

Big Dave no questions asked. He was a major part of a huge hit. Hogan was a minor part of a huge hit and then the lead in several terrible movies with smaller and smaller audiences. Hell Dave's part in the last Bond movie was pretty much as big as Hogan's in Rocky III.

[Crappler El 0 M]

Rocky III... Riddick
No Holds Barred... Guardians
Suburban Commando... Spectre
Mr. Nanny... Guardians 2
Santa with Muscles...Blade Runner 2049 (upcoming)
3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain...Avengers 3 (upcoming)

Clearly, it's Hogan, brother!

Pretty much what I'm thinking.

Excellent wordplay, sir.

[Cela]

Now, you would think Batista, but this is not the case.

Hulk actually had theatrically released movies made for him. Yes, they were almost all shit. But Hulk was a star, Batista is a supporting character.

The difference is:
Hulk Hogan is Mr. Nanny
Drax played by Dave Bautista
