Following the insane success of Guardians of the Galaxy, word is that Marvel is restructuring Batista’s contract. According to a source, the new deal will be for more money and result in more movie appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe going forward. These roles would include appearances in the second Guardians of the Galaxy and the third Avengers films. He also has other offers from outside of Marvel coming in, and is already set to be one of the main stars in the Kickboxer remake.
In regards to his future in wrestling, Batista’s people reportedly don’t want him to have any involvement with WWE. The feeling is that WWE did not handle his return well, and did not allow him to use enough of his own ideas to help get himself over. It is also well known that Hollywood “looks down” on pro wrestling. The situation is very similar to The Rock when he wound up leaving WWE for Hollywood.
It should be noted that Batista has been talking with WWE, but the belief is that wrestling will stay second to his movie career now.
