Dave Bautista clearly isnt a fan of the Fast & Furious franchise as the actor says hed rather do good films. Ouch, that one hurt.

The Guardians of the Galaxy actor wasnt impressed when a fan suggested he would be a good fit for a Fast & Furious spin-off like the upcoming Hobbs & Shaw, which stars Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham.

With his starring roles in action blockbusters such as Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers, its not such a far-fetched notion, right?

Well, it seems Dave, 50, couldnt think of anything worse than joining the thrill seekers of the Fast & Furious franchise, much to our heartbreak.

The Hollywood star replied to the fan: …..thank you for your consideration… #idratherdogoodfilms [sic].

Hearts shattering everywhere.

One fan was ballsy enough to accuse Dave of being hypocritical, claiming that the sequel for Escape Plan wasnt exactly Oscar-worthy.

Taking it on the chin, the actor replied: Genius! Big Dave didnt state that hes never done a bad film. But I did them for particular reasons that helped build an “acting” career.

And I got to work with Sly so in your face with that! Youre dismissed!

Seriously, that fan is a brave soul.

But yes, working with Sly Stallone is definitely a huge win.

Its not the first time Dave has expressed his big hopes for his acting career.

The former WWE star echoed the sentiments in his tweet in an interview with Cinema Blend, saying: I want good roles. I dont care about Fast and Furious or Bumblebee. … Thats not the kind of stardom I want. … I want to be in Dune.
