The WWE legend Dave Bautista shared a clip on Twitter, where he appeared in Gears of War armor. He also captioned the video, “I can’t make this any easier.” Additionally, he tagged Gears of War and Netflix along with the hashtag for the game’s famous character Marcus Fenix.
Undoubtedly, Batista sent a clear message with this tweet that he’s eager to play the iconic role of Marcus Fenix in the upcoming Netflix adaptation. However, there are also speculations that it could be a hint that the actor is already on board for the role.

The best cast I can think of for these characters are Bautista as Marcus, Jon Bernthal as Dom, Lester Speight as Cole Train and maybe Chris Pine for Baird (only because I can’t think of someone better). Bill Goldberg for sure though as old Baird

Delta Sqaud should be: https://t.co/TpNtz3Zrt6
