Terry Crews and Dave Bautista Are Totally Up For a 'Gears of War' Movie

Bautista, best known for playing Drax the Destroyer in Marvel Studios' Guardians of the Galaxy movies, has actually been trying to get this movie made for some time, according to a tweet he wrote in reply to a fan this week.

Theyre listening. And they could give AF! .. but thank you for the support. Believe me when I say Ive tried everything to make this happen. https://t.co/8THxKLkbdV Dave Bautista (@DaveBautista) July 23, 2019

When somebody else suggested that Bautista and Crews (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Expendables) would make a great team on a Gears of War movie, Crews said he liked the idea "very much," following it up with a photo of himself and Bautista, adding: "I like it a lot."

Damn. I like this. I like this very much. https://t.co/rMy6z3jQ9O terry crews (@terrycrews) July 25, 2019

Gears of War is an XBox 360 third-person shooter from Epic Games (the company behind Fortnite) which follows a conflict between the human race and a subterranean reptilian race known as the Locust Horde, and protagonist Marcus Fenix's mission to wipe out the threat and save humankind. Three sequels and a prequel have since been released, with a sixth instalment in the series coming later this year.

While New Line have made no official comment on Crews and Bautista's bids to be cast in the movie, they'd be foolish not to at least consider them: Bautista's stock is the highest it's ever been thanks to his involvement in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, not to mention the upcoming Dune adaptation, while Crews has proven time and time again that he can kick ass and make us laugh while doing it.
