Dave Bautista was popular during his WWE days from 2002 to 2010, then in 2014, and during a final run from 2018 to 2019. However, times have changed, and he is now mostly known as MCU's Drax the Destroyer since 'Guardians of the Galaxy'. 'Gears of War' creator Cliff Bleszinski has now made it known that he'd like to see the actor appear in the upcoming Netflix film based on the popular video game series.

Netflix confirmed that it was in the process of creating a live-action movie and an animated series that is tied to the beloved Xbox franchise. Bleszinski confirmed that he has no connection to either the movie or the animated series, but gave both projects his blessing. He also made it clear that he would be open to conferring on both projects if Netflix contacted him. However, for the cast, he does have a mind of his own and opinions that he has unabashedly shared on his social media. Read more to find out.

Bleszinski said that he wants Bautista to play the franchise's main character, Marcus Fenix. Bautista himself has long claimed that it's his "destiny" to appear in a 'Gears of War' film. And while this is an idea that fans have very much been on board with, clearly, Bleszinski wants to see it happen as well. 



 

Bleszinski also stated that Ryan Reynolds would be a good casting choice for Baird, and went on to say that he doesn't want Chris Pratt involved with the movie whatsoever. Obviously, it remains to be seen if Netflix's adaptations follow the same story as the games. 'Gears of War' is a media franchise centered on a series of video games created by Epic Games, developed and managed by the coalition, and owned and published by Xbox Game Studios.

There are hundreds of characters in the game series but fans speculate its most famous 8 - Marcus Fenix, Dominic Santiago, Damon Baird, Augustus Cole, Samantha Byrne, Anthony Carmine, Benjamin Carmine, and Clayton Carmine - will be showcased on the big screen. Regardless, there is no official confirmation from the creators as yet.
