Jay Bonansinga revealed Batista bagged a role Bruce Willis and Jason Statham were considered for

The Animal is set to star in the upcoming film The Killer's Game, based on a novel by Jay Bonansinga.

In a chat with Riju Dasgupta of Sportskeeda, Bonansinga confirmed that many big stars were considered for a prominent role in the abovementioned movie before Batista bagged it.

"This film has been in development for almost three decades. And all these huge Hollywood actors have been attached to it. And then something has fallen through. They pulled away on other projects. Michael Douglas, Bruce Willis, Jason Statham. At one point, it was going to be directed by John Woo. Again, I’m probably speaking (…) I’m giving you exclusives. I’m probably not even supposed to mention all this stuff," he said.

Fans are excited to see The Animal's role in the second part of the Dune film series. Meanwhile, some want him to make his in-ring return and face The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa at WrestleMania 40.
