Dave Bautista is "up for anything" in James Gunn's DCU, but there was one role he became "obsessed" with

Dave Bautista as Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3.

Dave Bautista has revealed that he's up for playing any role in James Gunn's new DCU, but he's "struggling" to find a place for himself – although there is one role that he's been thinking about a lot.  

"When I was younger, I wanted to play Bane; it was like a dream role for me," Bautista told ScreenRant. "And I got to a point in my career where I just felt like I was just too old to play Bane. I think the physicality of it, at this point in my career and my life, I just wouldn't be able to do the character justice. And then I saw somewhere online that someone posted something of me playing Lex Luthor; an older Lex Luthor. I kind of became obsessed with that idea. Obviously, they moved on from that idea, so at this point, I'm struggling to find my place in the DC universe. But I'd really be up for anything."
