Dave Bautista is entering the mind of M. Night Shyamalan. The actor will star in the filmmaker’s “Knock at the Cabin.”

“Knock at the Cabin” is due out from Universal on February 3, 2023, and continues Shyamalan’s lengthy partnership with the studio, which has released “Old” (2021), “Glass” (2019), “Split” (2017) and “The Visit” (2015).

Since transitioning from the world of wrestling, Bautista has become a go-to actor for a number of auteurs. James Gunn brought him into higher public awareness by casting him as Drax in “Guardians of the Galaxy” (2014), while Denis Villeneuve tapped him for a small role in “Blade Runner 2049” (2017) before putting him in “Dune” (2021). In March, Bautista debuted his biggest role to date when he led Zack Snyder’s “Army of the Dead.”

Bautista is currently in production on Gunn’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” which may be his final film in which he plays Drax, after reprising the role for “Avengers: Infinity War,” “Avengers: Endgame” and the upcoming “Thor: Love and Thunder.” He is also slated to appear in “Knives Out 2” and is attached to a buddy cop film also starring Jason Momoa and set up at MGM.
