It's just a hunch, but I think they'll be covering Bautista's teeth with diamonds or gold or...dare I say it? just metal! Not to bring Jaws back, just to show a character trait.

VERY excited to hear about Dave Bautista. Have not seen GOTG, but saw plenty of him in the WWE when my two sons were of 'that age.' He's a very skilled, athletic, powerful presence. Just the thing for Craigger to deal with, IMO.
On an unrelated side note: what a disappointment to hear that Purvis and Wade are still around to 'inject humor' into the proceedings. Guh 8-)

I hope not. . .the "grille" is a pretty standard gansta look, and I'd think the producers could come up with something more original. Maybe a superstrong henchman who's blind? Naahhhh. . .

Wasn't that already done in TWINE with Bullion? I'd like to see Batista as he is. A huge guy who can give Bond a good butt whooping but lacks some smarts. If anything, I'd like to see the Main Villain have weird character trait, like half of his body is albino, the other half not. How cool would that be?

Personally I find that whole ' big but dumb' approach ' too cartoon-like...Stamper wasn't stupid - neither was Oddjob...I'd prefer that approach - it adds an extra level when you have to 'think' your way out too...
The albino idea is good and I can not believe it hasn't been used in a Bond yet. Pretty much all of Ian Flemings villains that he created had some form of disability or looked grotesque in some shape or form so Im sure it is always possible to look back to the books and choose something.
What could be really weird and creepy is a Hermaphrodite (half male/female) as the villain. Sounds the sort of thing Fleming might of created.
I have wanted an albino henchman for long time. In some parts of Africa it is belived albinos can be used to create strong Magic, so bits and parts of albinos are Worth a lot on the black market and many albinos live in fear. Imagine a (big and strong) albino that was saved by the villan and thus is incredibly loyal. The crowd might even have gotten a piece of him before the villan could get him to safety (ears, fingers etc).
