Plans for a film adaptation of Gears of War have been dragging on since 2007. In 2016, Microsoft made a new effort to get the film into development by merging with Universal Pictures. The project was found by the author F. Scott Fraser and announced that the tape will not be part of the game universe, but since 2019 nothing has been heard about the project.
At the same time, Batista himself still appeared in the franchise, but so far only as an alternative model of Marcus Phoenix for multiplayer and the Gears 5 campaign, while he not only gave the hero his appearance, but also completely re-voiced all the lines.
