Dave Bautista Urges Fans to Push Netflix for 'Gears of War' Movie Progress

The actor continues to advocate for the stalled adaptation and remains eager to play Marcus Fenix despite concerns about his recent weight loss.

Netflix announced plans for a live-action 'Gears of War' movie in 2022, but the project has seen little progress since 2023, leaving fans and creators in limbo.
Dave Bautista, a longtime supporter of the adaptation, has actively campaigned to star as Marcus Fenix, encouraging fans to petition Netflix to move forward with production.
The game's creator, Cliff Bleszinski, has publicly backed Bautista for the lead role, calling for him to portray the iconic character in the adaptation.
Bautista's recent 75-pound weight loss has sparked fan discussions about whether his current physique aligns with the muscular build of Marcus Fenix, though the actor remains committed to the role.
Jon Spaihts, known for writing 'Dune' and 'Doctor Strange,' is attached to script the movie, but Netflix has yet to share updates on casting, production, or release plans.
