    That’s true. But Blockers and Trainwreck are a part of what I’m describing. He’s content to mostly stick to the same basic character; a jovial everyman, basically. I don’t see him ever wanting to tackle the stage on Broadway or play Macbeth, or anything for “serious” actors. He’s just happy to be doing his thing. And hey, that’s fine and dandy. More power to him.

    I see Bautista as someone who (Ironically I wasn’t a fan of at all in GotG) legitimately wants to climb that acting ladder. I don’t think he’ll succeed…let’s be clear. He won’t be winning any oscars any time soon. But I respect the effort to stretch himself with things like Bladerunner 2049, Dune, Knock at the Cabin, See, etc… which are all drastically different characters.
