James Gunn Hints at Bane & Deathstroke Movie, Bautista Unlikely

Dec 05, 2024 3:54 PM

James Gunn remains tight-lipped about the rumored Bane and Deathstroke movie in the DC Universe, while Dave Bautista's potential casting as Bane seems increasingly unlikely due to his age and desire to focus on different roles. Bautista had expressed interest in playing the character but appears to have moved on, suggesting that while Gunn enjoys working with him, there may not be a future for him as Bane. The conversation about this project continues to arise as Gunn outlines plans for other DC titles, including the new Superman film and Peacemaker season 2, with a positive outlook on revitalizing the DC brand.

Will Dave Bautista play Bane in the DCU?

It looks highly unlikely that Dave Bautista will take on the role of Bane in the DC Universe as he has shifted his focus to other roles and expressed doubts about doing justice to the character at his age.

Baldur's Gate 3 has been trending in gaming discussions, reminding fans of the deep narratives and character arcs that the DC Universe also seeks to explore. The ongoing transformation of both video game adaptations and cinematic universes highlights a growing trend in how beloved characters are portrayed across various media.

It’s intriguing to see how casting choices ripple through the cinematic landscape, especially when someone as charismatic as Bautista steps back from a role like Bane. Meanwhile, with games like Baldur's Gate 3 grabbing attention for their rich storytelling, it feels like both mediums are trying to capture that magic in their own unique ways.
