Surprising no one, Gears of War fans want Dave Bautista in the Netflix adaptation
The actor has a history with the shooter series

Gears of War fans predictably want Dave Bautista to play Marcus Fenix in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:forthcoming Netflix movie adapt🦋ation.
On November 7, to celebrate the sixteenth anniversary of the Gears of War franchise, Netflix announced two major ongoing proඣjects. The first was a Gears of War movie adaptation, while the 🤪latter was an "adult" animated series also set in the Gears of War world.
the day after the two announcements, it's clear fans want Dave Bautista, best known for playing Drax in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Guardians of the Galaxy movies, to play protagonist Marcus Fenix in the movie. While some are voicing their support for Bautista to step into the role, others think it's a foregone꧟ conclusion already.This is probably due to the fact Bautista actually has history with the shooter series (besides resembling Fenix with his imposing physicality). The actor lent his li💞keness to developer The Coalition for Gears 5, the latest entry in the ongoing franchise, so players could unlock a character based on him for the sequel's multiplayer 💖modes and play as him.
In fact, last year in 2021, Bautista revealed in an interview with that he turned down a role in the mega-hit Fast and Furious franchise to pitch a Gears of War movie. The actor stated he had a meeting at Warner Bros., but rather than talk about playing Batman villain Bane, the actor instead pivoted to discussing a Gears of War adaptation, which the studio apparently didn't li🌺ke too much.
The Gears of War projects rumble on alongside several other Netflix video game adaptations. The company currently has a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Horizon Zero Dawn adaptation in developme♐nt, in addition to an 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Assassin's Creed series and a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:BioShock movie. There's also a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:God of War TV show in development, but that's in the works for streaming service rival Amazon Prime, as is a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:series based on Fallout.
