Dave Batista turned down a role in Fast and Furious in favor of a film based on Gears of War – Igromania

Dave Batista said that he once turned down a role in the franchise “Fast and the Furious” in favor of a potential picture of Gears of war

In the past, the actor has repeatedly noted that he would play with great enthusiasm Marcus Phoenix – as it turned out, he tried to promote this idea in the studio Universal… Instead of discussing the proposed game in The Fast and the Furious, he proposed to move the channel to Gears of War.

Representatives of the studio were somewhat surprised by Batista’s enthusiasm, but the actor himself does not regret that he then tried to “push” this idea. He saw no point in participating in something less interesting when there was a project in the industry that Batista himself really wanted to support.

However, unfortunately, the adaptation of Gears of War has not yet been released – the tape has been in development since 2007 and has repeatedly changed the scriptwriters. As a result, Batista joined the universe only as a character for multiplayer Gears 5

Recently, Batista has been actively flashing in various interviews – he recently said that the third part Guardians of the Galaxy will be the last for Drax and scolded Marvel because the studio did not normally reveal the character’s solo story.
And recently, the actor added that a small role in Blade Runner 2049 in terms of career, it turned out to be more useful than the same big Marvel projects.
