During his time away from the ring, WWE superstar Batista will be filming a new movie with boxing champion Manny Pacquiao titled “Wapakman,” according to ManilaStandardToday.com. The movie is said to be a “martial arts comedy” similar to the film Kung Fu Hustle. Pacquiao will play the role of the hero and Batista, the villain. Nicole Szcheringer, lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls, will also be part of the cast. The three stars all share Phillapino heritage. Batista accompanied Pacquiao into the ring for his May 2nd showdown against Britain’s Ricky Hatton.
