Latino Review claims the 45-year-old actor will star in the as-yet-untitled film - which will also feature Daniel Craig, 46 - as a henchman called Hinx.
Bautista's casting would appear to fit with the desired physical profile of the character, which was described in a casting notice in August.
The notice reads: "We are looking to follow in the tradition of JAWS and ODDJOB in finding an iconic baddy."
Producers confirmed they are looking to hire someone who is between 30 and 45, and is above 6' 2".
The notice added: "We are looking for an imposing extremely physically fit actor. He has several fights with Bond and will have to have stunt training. He has to drive.
"We are looking for someone very unusual, possibly from a sports background."
Filming for the new Sam Mendes-directed film will begin at Pinewood Studios in the UK in December, with the eagerly-awaited movie set for release in October 2015.

'Ugly Betty' could soon be turned into a Hollywood movie.
The comedy-drama show, which ran from 2006 to 2010, has developed a cult following and the cast of the show are apparently badgering its writer, Silvio Horta, to pen a film script.
Ana Ortiz, who played Betty's sister Hilda Suarez, told The Sun newspaper: "I would love to say that there is a movie in the works.
"I just saw Vanessa (who played Wilhelmina) and we were determined, fingers crossed.
"I think Hilda would be still married and maybe they own their own salon, maybe Betty is running her own magazine."
The 43-year-old also said she would love to see award-winning singer-songwriter Bette Midler, 68, make a cameo appearance in the film.
She explained: "It is a New York show so there would have to be New York celebrities. We always wanted to get Bette Midler."
Ortiz said the cast would also enjoy the opportunity to be able to sing.
She added: "What about an Ugly Betty musical on Broadway? We all like to sing. Some sing better than others.
"Obviously Vanessa Williams is an amazing singer. But we all fancy ourselves as singing nerds."
And despite the show ending four years ago, Ortiz says fans from all over the world still remember her for her part in the programme.
She explained: "Going abroad is when I get the most Ugly Betty love, they are so crazy. They shout 'Hilda!'"

Emma Thompson is writing 'Bridget Jones' Baby'.
The 'Saving Mr Banks' star has been called in to re-write the screenplay following complaints from the movies' stars, who revealed they were unhappy with the planned script for the movie adaptation of Helen Fielding's latest novel, 'Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy'.
Emma, 55, is thought to have begun improving Helen's script - who had penned the first draft with 'One Day' author David Nicholls.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Trying to get a third film into production has been a nightmare.
"The cast didn't like the script and they've now got Emma involved in the hope she can add her British charm."
The star-studded cast - which is thought to include Renee Zellweger and Colin Firth - have faith in the Brit-born actress after she wrote and starred in the children's film 'Nanny McPhee' alongside Colin Firth in 2005 and won an Oscar for her adaptation of Jane Austen's novel 'Sense and Sensibility' in 1995.
She is also close friends with Richard Curtis - who penned the first two well-loved instalments, which followed the life of the struggling singleton.

Robert Downey Jr. thinks superhero films are getting "a bit old".
The 49-year-old 'Iron Man' actor has described the superhero genre as "fraying around the edges" because they are overexposed in the cinema during the summer.
Talking to The Sunday Telegraph's Seven magazine, he explained: "Honestly, the whole thing is just showing the beginning signs of fraying around the edges. It's a little bit old. Last summer there were five or seven different ones out. I feel that they are critiqued by a different metric to any other movie.
"It's like a bunch of really good dancers and you're looking for the one who keeps changing her leg warmers. They make a lot of money."
Despite his claims that the genre is "old", Robert - who first starred as the superhero Iron Man in 2008 - admitted that he felt "bombed" when he discovered that the film studios didn't intend to make a fourth 'Iron Man' film.
When asked if a sequel was in the works, Robert shared: "Not that I'm aware of. 'Avengers' was another opportunity but they're not talking about 'Iron Man 4'.
"I was kind of bombed out the tell you the truth, but maybe they've got bigger fish to fry and I trust their overall vision. The funny thing about these genre movies is you'd think they were national secrets."

Lena Dunham is planning to make the novel 'Catherine, Called Birdy' into a movie.
The 'Girls' star and creator has revealed she is working on a film adaptation of Karen Cushman's 1994 children's book, and is even thinking about taking on the helm herself.
She said: "I'm going to adapt it and hopefully direct it.
"I just need to find someone who wants to fund a PG-13 Medieval movie."
The historical novel - which is set in thirteenth century England and follows a diary format - tells the story of Catherine, the daughter of a moderately well-off baron in the years 1290 and 1291 when she is thirteen and fourteen years old.
And despite having little knowledge of the historical period, Dunham claims she's been interested in the book since she was just a young girl herself.
She explained: She [Catherine] gets her period and her father basically says, 'Well, it's time for you to get married', and she's like, 'Uh, no'.
"But it's hyper realistic and really pretty and it's full of incest and beatings, but it's a child's story. I've been obsessed with it since I was a kid."
Dunham will develop the film with her production partner and 'Girls' executive producer Jenni Konner.
According to Variety, the 28-year-old actress said: "I'm very excited about it. I'm not sure when it'll happen, but I'm in the process [of working on it]."

James Franco only sleeps for four hours a night.
The 36-year-old actor - who also directs movies, is an artist and writer and is studying for a PhD - admits his busy schedule leaves him with little time to relax and he finds himself frequently napping when he stops working for just a few minutes.
He said: "Normally I never get the chance to sleep more than four or five hours a night.
"I can keep that pace up for three or four weeks and then maybe I need to take a few days to relax and sleep longer.
"If I ever stop doing something for a few minutes, you'll usually find me dozing off for a half-hour or so."
The 'Spring Breakers' star admits the only time he is able to stick to a regular routine is when he is making a movie.
He explained: "The only time I really get to sleep normally is when I'm shooting a film and I'm not able to do anything but work on that until we wrap."
James can understand why his many artistic endeavours are viewed as "strange" but he insists he isn't afraid to laugh at himself.
He told Loaded magazine: "I have a sense of humour about how people perceive what I'm doing as strange. I love being able to mock myself. I'm willing to be judged on the basis of my work in whatever field that happens to be. That's what comes with being an artist in any medium."

Freida Pinto fainted because she pushed herself so hard in preparing for her role in 'Desert Dancer'.
The 29-year-old actress was left in constant agony training to portray Afshin Ghaffarian in the movie, which follows her attempts to be a dancer in Iran, but was thrilled her hard work paid off when it came to shooting the scenes.
She said: "I trained and trained. I had to put in eight hours every day for one year.
"I got blisters and cuts and bruises and back problems. I was fainting and I was like, 'Oh my God, I can't do this.'
"But in the end it all worked out, and the day I was actually performing, the day we were shooting the scenes, I had this energy from somewhere that I don't even know where it came from. It was the spirit of all these various dancers that kind of just empowered me to do this."
Despite her stunning looks, Freida admitted she hates being complimented on her beauty and would prefer people to just focus on her acting skills.
She told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "I don't like that, to be honest. Every time someone tells me, 'Oh you look so beautiful in the film', I don't care.
"Just tell me the performance was good."

Evan Rachel Wood thinks it is important to take care of "mind, spirit and body".
The 'Wrestler' actress - who has a 14-month-old son with estranged husband Jamie Bell - has regular massages to help her ease stress and tension and also to help with the back problems she has since having a child.
She said: "I love massages. I think you've got to take care of your mind, spirit and your body.
"I told a lot of stress physically so I need to get that all worked out otherwise my whole body will start to hurt.
"Especially now after having a kid, and picking him up all the time, my back is just a mess."
The 27-year-old beauty is a big fan of yoga, which she "fell in love" with while pregnant.
She said: "My favourite exercise is yoga. I studied it when I was pregnant and I kind of fell in love. It's the best way to get stretched out and keep calm."
Every morning, Evan starts the day with a special smoothie to detox and keep herself in the best possible condition.
She told Look magazine: "I always have a smoothie for breakfast to jump-start the day.
"I'll make sure it has protein powder because that fills me up, flaxseed which is really good for your skin and then I'll add some blueberries as they're full of antioxidants and some banana as it's my favourite."

Jamie Dornan claims he isn't very good at "selling himself" in auditions.
The 'Fifty Shades of Grey' actor has admitted that he struggles when trying out for a role because he doesn't think he comes across well.
Talking about his attempt to get a part on the television series, 'The Fall', Jamie said: "I'm not very good at auditions, I don't sell myself well. I didn't do a good audition for 'The Fall'. But the show's writer, Allan Cubitt, saw something in me. I think he had to work pretty hard to convince everyone else.
"'The Fall' changed my life - that's not an overstatement."
The 'Fall' writer admits he could see "potential" in the hunky star that went beyond his handsome face.
Allan told Britain's Vogue magazine: "I guess I saw his potential and didn't let anything else stand in my way. You only need to meet Jamie once to realise that he has a huge amount going for him beyond being physically attractive."
Jamie recently admitted shooting sex scenes with Dakota Johnson for 'Fifty Shades of Grey' was "strange work", but he had no problem getting intimate on camera.
He said: "I'm not really fearful of that stuff. It's just work. It's strange work, sure, but it's still work. I just get on with it."
He even revealed that his father had encouraged him to take on the role of Christian Grey, as he added: "[Dad] was all for it. I don't come from a cagey family. We're fairly liberal."
