Dave Bautista wants to be part of the Gears Of War TV series cast, and honestly we’re here for it.
In case you missed the news, Netflix currently has a Gears Of War live-action series in the works. It’ll join a variety of other video games turned TV shows like The Witcher, Halo, The Last Of Us, and later this year, Amazon Prime Video’s Fallout series.
Check out the trailer for Amazon's Fallout live-action series below
Converting the story, characters and over the top violence from the Gears Of War games is likely no easy task, but one actor has already expressed interest in one of the leading roles.

Dave Bautista, best known for his career as a WWE wrestler and film roles in Guardians Of The Galaxy and Dune desperately wants to star as one of the COGs.
The actor took to Twitter to say “I can’t make this any easier,” before tagging the Gears Of War and Netflix accounts, as well as a Marcus Fenix hashtag which is presumably the role he’s after the most. Accompanied by the tweet was a video of the star suiting up in one of the game’s costumes before ending the clip with “it’s about f***ing time.”
Honestly we think he’d be perfect for the role of a live-action Marcus Fenix, and fans are in agreement as many commented on the post to express their support for the casting choice.

One fan said: “It’s ALWAYS been you. They just need to admit the truth!”
Another added: “You’re the only person I’ll accept to do this role.”
Even the original designer of Gears Of War Cliff Bleszinski chimed in to say: “Brother, as the designer of 1 2 and 3 you're my first choice.”
Honestly it seems like a no brainer, the ball is in Netflix’s court now though so hopefully it comes to its senses and gives the role to Bautista, it’s fair to say there aren’t many better options
