I honestly think they should just have waited on the surgery on the origin cast. Obviously they made the guy do a stunt and he got injured and now hes being punished for it.

It sucks for him, but it’s not really fair to the rest of the cast and crew to make them wait several months if not longer. Crew members can’t afford to sit around not getting paid.

Studio wanted to replace him with a bigger actor anyway, they just used the injury as an excuse. At least that’s what Hurst is implying

Did he really imply that? Damn that’s awful but unfortunately not surprising. He absolutely killed it as Thor in Ragnorak. What did he say exactly?

Didn’t Bautista slim right down awhile back? He said he was tired of carrying so much weight all the time. Has he built up again?
