The iconic DC villain Bane, best known for breaking Batman’s back, continues to be the character that got away for Dave Bautista.
The wrestler-turned-actor shares in an interview with Insider published on Monday that he approached James Gunn about the prospect of playing the back-breaking antagonist prior to his Guardians of the Galaxy director’s ascension as Co-CEO and Co-Chair of DC Studios. “I have had conversations with James about that,” Bautista said, “but I think the direction he’s leaning in, completely rebooting that whole universe, he’s starting from scratch and starting younger and fresher and I think you need to do that.” Bautista went on to say that he believes if the DC Universe is to be “revived,” Gunn and Co-CEO/Co-Chair Peter Safran “need to start from scratch” — reconceiving this cinematic universe with newer faces front and center. “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,” said the actor. “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.
