Dave Bautista

For years, Dave Bautista has apparently felt an affinity with the character of Bane and hoped to be cast in the role. But, recently, the actor has spoken publicly about His desire to move away from intense, physically demanding roles And focus on other parts of his performance. That’s why the former wrestler-turned-actor said that he would now prefer to play a character like an older Lex Luthor in the DCU.

Regardless, it’s worth putting his name forward for the role, as the actor could be a perfect choice to tackle the big and brooding Bone. Considering his talent for playing tough guys and occasionally more comedic roles, Bautista could be a great choice If thrown in a team-up Bane and Deathstroke project. Such a film would require actors who are comfortable sharing the screen and creating chemistry, which Bautista has done in many projects like Guardians of the Galaxy, Army of the DeadAnd The killer’s game.

Laz Alonso

Laz Alonso is another actor who recently underwent a physical transformation, having lost a large amount of weight between the third season of The boys and season 4. However, when looking at comments from the actor about his decision to lose weight and focus on his health, It is clear that he has the dedication required to transform his body for his career (via The direct). Alonso is a strong and imposing man, regardless of whether he has that extra weight, or he is running lean.

In order to play a character like Bone, the actor needs to have a physical presence, which of course is helped by having bigger muscles, but they also need to be intelligent, and considerate. As seen from his time playing MM in The boys, Alonso is certainly capable of delivering intelligent and imposing characters. And he has the ability to play emotional beats where he switches from calm and collected, to more violent and aggressive, which is another aspect in common with Bane.

Marco Zaror

For example, Marko Zaror, who appeared as Chidi in John Wick Chapter 4is an actor who is able to deliver a performance that pits him against other impressive characters like Vic and still manages to establish a strong presence. In making a team-up movie, Bane needs to have the quality to avoid being overshadowed by Deathstroke.

In addition, the actor has a lot of experience with action scenes, performing as a stunt performer and choreographer for many different projects. This would be another asset to an actor taking on the role, as they can impart this knowledge to the character and ensure that Bane is ready for combat. All things considered, Although Zaroor may be a lesser known actor, he can deliver the character in meaningful ways.

Javier Bardem

Javier Bardem, on the other hand, is a much more recognizable face. yes, The actor is a bit older than some of the others on the list, but that doesn’t mean he should be dismissed. In his long career, Bardem played incredible figures from his performance in No country for old peopleTo his time as a villain in the Daniel Craig Bond film, Skyfall. And more recently, Bardem played a prominent role in the Denis Villeneuve adaptation of Don.

Bardem is intelligent, he exudes power and authority, and he has a talent for playing characters that are less than powerful. Although he may be a jerk due to his age, he continues to be in great physical condition, and He can easily meet the emotional and mental aspects of a character like Bane. Especially if someone like Joe Manganiello were to reprise their role as Deathstroke, and the story followed a couple of seasoned villains.

5

Terry Crews

Although the incredible Terry Crews is actually even older than Javier Bardem, he is an actor known for keeping himself in top physical health. The Expendables Star is one of the most physically impressive performers in HollywoodAnd he can easily meet the requirements to play a character who is built like a tank, like bone. And, expanding on the motivation and build, Crews has the range to play the character in a variety of ways.

From his time onwards Brooklyn no-noCrews proved himself to be an incredibly talented comedic actor. However, the character can also provide emotion, anger and stand out in a team. If the Bane and Deathstroke film were to go down a more comedic route and see the villains play a comedic duo, Crews could easily fill the role. And he’s a name that would very likely cause excitement for fans who might be hesitant to take a chance on the film.

Florian Munteanu

Keeping up with the great and in charge performers for now, Florian Munteanu is another great choice to handle the role and provide an incredible physical presence. in Creed IIMunteanu was cast as the rival for young Adonis Creed, and the son of Ivan Drago, the man who killed Danny’s father. Munteanu is a big man standing at an incredible 6 feet 4 inches. The size and figure make him a great choice to play bone.

In addition, Munteanu is one of the youngest contenders on the list. If the film decides to bring the characters back to their youth and explore an earlier version of their villain, Munteanu could be the ideal casting. However, while he excels in physical roles, He is still a very fresh faced actor. Munteanu has appeared in only seven projects since 2016, but he has managed to get major roles. of Creed IIto Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten RingsDown to BorderlandsHis credits are impressive and speak to his talent.

Dwayne Johnson

However, Johnson has recently returned to the ring, which suggests a commitment to staying in good shape and maintaining his impressive musculature.

on the other hand, Johnson had a brief moment with the DCEU when he starred as Black Adam in 2022 and tried to revive the dying franchise on his own. Unfortunately, those plans fell apart, and the demise of the DCEU was announced shortly thereafter. This may have left a bitter taste in Johnson’s mouth, and combined with Johnson’s preference for playing heroes rather than villains, he may choose to avoid a role like Bones. However, if he were to take it on, he could do great things with the character.

Daniel Moncada

Daniel Moncada may stand only 5 feet 11 inches tall, however The actor knows how to create an intimidating presence. His most famous role to date is playing one half of the Salamanca Murder Brothers in Breaking bad And Better call Saul. In the role, Moncada is able to exude a presence while largely remaining completely silent. While Hardy’s Bane was highly articulate, the character in the comics is typically much less prone to speech.

Moncada could provide those aspects of the character, but again, that would rely on the other half of the duo balancing them out. If the movie featured Deathstroke as a much more vocal character, or someone who could pick up the slack, Bane could remain a more reserved and broody figure, which would fit well with Moncada’s previous performances. But his height can be an issue when trying to make them into a huge imposing figure.

He rose to fame due to his picture of the Mountain, in Game of ThronesAnd since then, he has continued to play gigantic muscle-bound titans in film and television.

Björnsson is clearly discerning in the roles he chooses to take on Only appeared in 11 different projectsBut considering how much of a perfect fit he could be for Bane, it makes sense for this to be the next big challenge for the hulking actor to tackle. And this would provide a great opportunity for the actor to develop his performance skills in a leading role with more dialogue and emotion than he has previously shown in his other works. All things considered, Björnsson might be the ideal person to play Bane in the upcoming DCU team-up movie.
