Dave Bautista and Terry Crews on the job
This is great news for fans of the game who, for years, have been dreaming of a live adaptation starring actor Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy) to camp Marcus Fenix (his physical resemblances to the hero of the franchise are obvious). The actor himself had responded to this fan fantasy by saying that it would be a dream role! While Terry Crews (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, also endowed with a physique very close to that of the other hero of the saga) declared that he would play the character of Cole Train well.
