On the cusp of wrapping up his MCU career as Drax, from ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’, Dave Bautista has disappointed DCU fans by claiming he won’t be playing Bane in ‘The Batman’ sequel.
In April 2021, the actor revealed that he had conversations with Warner Bros. Discovered to be the villain in the second part of the Batman adventure. At the time, he said, “I’m not kidding. They were like ‘woah, we’re not even throwing Bane’. I was like, ‘I don’t care, I’ll play him.’
Bautista’s friend and mentor James Gunn, along with Peter Safran, is the current head of DC Studios, apparently would give the actor a chance, but that won’t happen again. Bautista elaborated on an explanation for his non-participation in the DCU:
“I’ve talked to James about it, but I think the direction it’s going, completely rebooting the whole universe, is starting from scratch, younger and fresher and I think you need to do that. I think to revive the DC Universe, you have to start from scratch, and I think you have to start with younger actors. You need to start planning for the next 15 years, and I don’t think you can do that with me. And I understand that.

He added that he appreciated Gunn’s honesty, as he doesn’t want to give his best to a character he loves if he falls short, saying, “I don’t want to play a character I can’t do justice to. I don’t think at this point in my career I can no longer do Bane justice. I just don’t know if I could handle the physical part, and I don’t think I would have the longevity to plan movies in advance. I just don’t know if it would be this guy.”
