Batista started his acting career with a string of minor roles and relatively unknown movies. His acting career took off in 2014 when he played the role of Drax the Destroyer in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

In 2015, he had two major films. The first was the James Bond movie Spectre in which he played the role of Mr. Hinx - an assassin. The second movie was Heist in which he had a more prominent role and starred alongside Robert De Niro and Jeffrey Dean Morgan among others.

Batista acted in four movies including the Bruce Willis movie 'Marauders' in 2016 but none of his movies from that year were major hits. The following year was much different as he reprised his role as Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and also played a role in Blade Runner 2049 featuring Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford.

In 2018, he once again played the role of Drax in the Avengers: Infinity War movie and will be part of the Avengers finale in 2019. He also acted alongside Sylvester Stallone in the sequel of Escape Plan and is set to feature in the film’s third part in 2019.
