Former wrestling sensation Dave Bautista has said his dream gig would be to portray the muscle-bound Marcus Fenix in the upcoming Gears of War movie.

Speaking in a Q&A with fans while visiting GameSpot Universe, Bautista was quizzed on what his ideal film role would be, to which he made it clear that he's been keeping an eye on the Universal Pictures-backed action flick for a while now.

Bautista, who plays Drax in Marvel's irreverent superhero movie franchise Guardians of the Galaxy, revealed he's been 'pursuing Gears of War for years now,' and that 'Marcus Fenix is absolutely a dream role for me. I want that role.'

Frankly, we think Bautista would make a fantastic Fenix or even Dom for that matter. We can totally see him rocking a Lancer, that's for sure.

The Gears of War movie has been in development for a while now, although we still don't really know all that much about it.
