With development going as long as the Halo show – which has just been canceled this past year – Gears of War is still at a standstill in its development. Originally announced in 2016, Universal Pictures received the rights to produce. However, the project was then handed to Netflix later in 2022. There has been no updates on the state of the production. But, actor Dave Bautista has remained vocal on his interest in the film.

In one interview, he expressed enough interest to overlook casting for Fast & Furious to potentially star in the Gears of War movie. While Bautista has also shared to be unsure of his addition to the cast, he is a major fan of the franchise. With the launch of Gears 5 for Xbox Series X|S, a skin pack starring the former WWE Superstar was added to the game.

A new interview with Comicbook.com shares Bautista’s current viewpoint on the state of the film, and he is certainly impatient. Speaking with the outlet, Bautista explains his frustration with how little has been announced nor true understanding on the state of the film overall.

“Start an online thing about freaking Gears of War. Come on, Netflix. Come on already. It’s not like I’m not badgering them. Come on, Netflix. Get it together,” he added on himself even press Netflix on the film. In the past, director Zack Snyder (Rebel Moon) has shared interest into taking on the film.

Especially with his ties at Netflix and even casted Bautista in a few of his own films, it could be the best option to really materialize the picture. Even more, creator Cliff Bleszinski does approve of the idea for Zack Snyder to direct the film as well. You can read the full report by heading here.
