A new rumor claims Dave Bautista is being eyed to play Brainiac in James Gunn\u2019s Man of Tomorrow<\/em>. The report comes from Jeff Sneider, adding another major name to the growing list of actors connected to the Superman sequel.<\/p>\n
Brainiac was recently revealed as the film\u2019s villain, and casting chatter has ramped up as the project moves toward production. Bautista now joins a conversation that has already included other rumored contenders.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
Jeff Sneider fuels the casting talk<\/h2>\n
According to Sneider, Bautista\u2019s name has come up in discussions surrounding Brainiac. Nothing is confirmed, and there\u2019s no word on a deal. But the fact his name is now being floated suggests DC Studios is still weighing multiple directions for the character.<\/p>\n
Bautista\u2019s DC interest isn\u2019t new<\/h2>\n
Bautista has talked in the past about wanting to play Bane. More recently, he said he felt he had aged out of the role and didn\u2019t think he was the right fit anymore.<\/p>\n
Even with Bane off the table, Bautista has also said he still wants to play a different DC character and has expressed interest in working with James Gunn again. That\u2019s why this rumor stands out, especially with Gunn now steering the DCU.<\/p>\n
Why Bautista as Brainiac could work<\/h2>\n
Brainiac doesn\u2019t have to be a pure brawler. The character is defined by intelligence, control, and menace. Bautista has leaned into more restrained, character-driven work in recent years, which could fit a colder, more imposing take on Brainiac.<\/p>\n
Nothing is locked yet<\/h2>\n
As with the other rumored names, this is still in rumor territory. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
