Dave Bautista Reveals The Dream DC Movie Role He Obsessed Over After Years Of Bane Rumors

This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available. Summary

• Bautista's dream role used to be Bane, but due to age, he now sees himself as an older Lex Luthor.
• He feels he may not meet the physical demands of playing Bane but is open to any role in the DC Universe.
• Bautista expressed interest in playing an older version of Lex Luthor, despite a previous interest in portraying Bane.

Dave Bautista wants to join James Gunn's DC Universe, and he has a major dream role in mind for the upcoming franchise. Following the conclusion of the DCEU movie timeline, a new DC Universe is on its way, with DC Studios co-CEOs Gunn and Peter Safran in charge. While Gunn is tapping new blood for the DC Universe, he is also bringing over various actors he worked with during his time at Marvel Studios in the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy.
Screen Rant recently interviewed Bautista for his new film, My Spy: The Eternal City, and opened up more about wanting to take part in Gunn's DC Universe. While having previously been interested in playing the Batman villain, Bane, the former MCU star has a different foe in mind, sharing the following:

Dave Bautista: For forever, it was Bane. When I was younger, I wanted to play Bane; it was like a dream role for me. And I got to a point in my career where I just felt like I was just too old to play Bain. I think the physicality of it, at this point in my career and my life, I just wouldn't be able to do the character justice.
And then I saw somewhere online that someone posted something of me playing Lex Luthor; an older Lex Luther. I kind of became obsessed with that idea. Obviously, they moved on from that idea, so at this point, I'm struggling to find my place in the DC universe. But I'd really be up for anything.
