Dave Bautista Says James Gunn Is "Completely Rebooting The Whole Universe" When Asked About Playing BANE

Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista appeared to confirm that James Gunn and Peter Safran will be implementing a full reboot of the DCU when asked about potentially playing Bane...

Fans are still waiting on official word regarding DC Studios co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran's plans for the DCU (a slate reveal is rumoured for Tuesday), but based on everything we've heard so far, a full reboot seems likely.

Now, Guardainas of the Galaxy actor Dave Bautista appears to have confirmed that Gunn and Safran will be "starting from scratch" ahead of any potential announcement.

The Drax actor has expressed interest in playing Batman baddie Bane in the past, and when asked if that was something he's still campaigning for during an interview with Insider, he responded with the following.

“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.”

"I talked to James about it, the direction he's going, completely rebooting the entire universe," he added. "He's starting from scratch and making everything younger and fresher, and I think that's the ideal path."

Hardly a massive surprise given everything that's transpired with Henry Cavill etc, but the likes of Jason Momoa and Zachary Levi seem to feel they'll be staying put in their respective roles, leading to some confusion. Providing Bautista hasn't got the wrong end of the stick here or jumped to a conclusion, his comments would seem to leave very little doubt.

We're not sure Gunn will be too happy about this, but with an announcement (likely) coming at some point tomorrow (the filmmaker did promise some news before the end of January), it shouldn't really make much difference.
