It’s hardly a secret that regardless of enjoying Drax the Destroyer for near a decade within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Dave Bautista‘s dream comedian ebook position has all the time been Bane.
He’s pitched it to Warner Bros. and DC himself on at the very least a few events, and the probabilities regarded higher than they ever had when his longtime collaborator James Gunn was put in as studio co-CEO. As an alternative, the wrestler-turned-actor ended up ruling himself out of the half completely, with the franchise’s newest overhaul skewing in a youthful path for almost all of its marquee characters.
And but, you’ll be able to by no means preserve a very good dream casting down for too lengthy, with Blue Beetle director Angel Manuel Soto stoking the flames of hypothesis as soon as once more after admitting that not solely has Bautista seen his incoming blockbuster and loved it immensely, he even instructed the filmmaker that he nonetheless harbors these goals of inhabiting the hulking villain who snapped Batman’s backbone like a twig.
Coincidentally – or not, maybe – Soto initially pitched a Bane film to DC earlier than ending up with the Blue Beetle gig, so it’s not completely out of the query that he may prospectively reunite with Bautista to make it a actuality ought to Jaime Reyes’ impending debut not do what The Flash and Shazam! Fury of the Gods did and bomb horrendously. Then once more, perhaps it’s all simply wishful pondering.
Both means, you’d anticipate Bautista to indicate up someplace in DC given his ties to Gunn and the latter’s admission a number of of his Guardians cohorts are poised to affix him in leaping ship to the competitors.
