    Did you see Bladerunner 2049? He doesn’t play “angry” in that one, even though he’s only in the opening scene.

      Yep. Typecast is not the same thing as having no range. Bautista is no Costner. He did play Big angry man in Guardians of the galaxy. A lot of the humor the character had was brought by Bautista. And not scripted or rehearsed. I didn’t want to like Cena either. But he genuinely seems a pretty good guy with a decent bit of range. Duane, is okay. But yes he absolutely is very samey and nearly every role I’ve ever seen him in.

      • Duane is the most typecast among them. Haven’t seen him in jack shit that wasn’t an action/comedy mix set in a jungle, except the CIA one. No jungle in that.

        He probably could do more, but nobody casts him for anything else. Though that may be because he’s an asshole on set nobody wants to work with.

          I actually liked the Jumanji sequels because they could just go all out with it. I especially liked in the second/third one when they were playing the old characters, first getting into the game.
