Dave Bautista will NOT be playing Bane in the new DCU

In an interview with Insider, MCU veteran Dave Bautista revealed his thoughts on possibly playing Batman villain Bane in the new DC Universe. He confirmed that he has discussed the idea with DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn, who is looking to rebuild the entire DC universe under his supervision.

“I think for the DC Universe to be revived, you need to start from scratch, and I think you need to start with younger actors.You need to start to plan for the next 15 years, and I just don’t think you can do that with me. And I understand that. And, also, I have to say that I appreciate that because I don’t want to play a character that I can’t bring justice to it. I don’t think at this point in my career that I can bring justice to Bane anymore. I just don’t know if I could handle the physical part, and I don’t think I would have the longevity to plan ahead for films. So, I just don’t know if I’d be that guy.”
