While Bond 25 languishes in pre-production hang-ups, Bautista will, of course, be keeping himself busy in the interim with the Avengers: Infinity War films and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
If Hinx does return opposite Craig’s Bond in Bond 25, hopefully, Purvis and Wade will find a way to give Bautista more than the one-word expletive that signaled his exit from Spectre.
The only way we’ll know for sure, though, is if and when Craig finally decides to sign on to the next film.
The mere fact that Bautista is talking about Hinx again should be good news for fans of the Bond villain, meaning the character somehow survived after being thrown from a train by 007.
