Continuing his teases of joining the DC Universe, a Marvel Cinematic Universe star drops a new hint that could make a popular fan casting a reality.
Marvel Cinematic Universe star hints at possible DC Universe role as iconic Batman villain Bane. With James Gunn’s DCU project in the works, the likelihood of Bane’s appearance increases. While many contenders could tackle the role, fans already have a top pick – and it’s an MCU actor.
Taking to Instagram, Dave Bautista, known for his role as Drax in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, teased his potential casting as Bane in the DCU by sharing fan art of the infamous character.
Moreover, Bautista’s collaboration with James Gunn in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise adds another layer of intrigue. Given their established rapport, Bautista’s potential involvement in Gunn’s DCU project could further enhance the synergy between actor and director, potentially elevating the portrayal of Bane to new heights.
Why Dave Bautista Is the DCU’s Perfect Bane
Bautista’s physicality aligns perfectly with the character of Bane, known for his imposing stature and confrontations with Batman, famously breaking the Dark Knight’s back multiple times across various media. With a background in WWE and roles like Drax in the MCU, Bautista embodies Bane’s strength effortlessly.
However, Bane transcends mere brute force; despite some portrayals painting him as such, he remains one of Batman’s most formidable adversaries, combining physical prowess with intellectual cunning. While previous depictions have touched on this duality, shortcomings like Tom Hardy’s portrayal in The Dark Knight Rises hindered the character’s full potential.
In the DCU, Bautista could deliver the definitive portrayal of Bane, capturing both his physicality and intellect. His experience in action-packed films like Blade Runner 2049 showcases his ability to portray multifaceted characters, making him an ideal fit for the role.
What are your thoughts on Dave Bautista potentially portraying Bane in the DC Universe? Do you think he’s the right fit for the role? Would you like to see him bring his physicality and depth to the character, or do you have another actor in mind? Feel free to share your opinions and comments below!
