Dave Bautista Signs on the Play Intergalactic Lawman in Universe's Most Wanted

Director Brad Peyton, who worked famously well with The Rock in the films San Andreas and Rampage, is now teaming with another ex-WWE Superstar, Dave Bautista. Deadline reports that Bautista, sticking with the cosmic warrior genre that served him well in both Guardians of the Galaxy movies, is set to play an intergalactic peacekeeper on the trail of alien criminals in Peyton's Universe's Most Wanted. The story centers on a cabal of space-crooks who land in a small town and hunker down in the quaint settlement. Bautista's lawman will work with the son of the local sheriff, along with the town's citizens, to defeat the extraterrestrial evil-doers.
