Actor and WWE star Dave Bautista (or Batista, depending on where you look) has been trying, and trying, and trying for a long while to get cast in the far-off Gears of War movie, to little success. Thankfully, Gears 5 seems to have found a compromise. Starting September 15, just after the WWE Clash of Champions pay-per-view event, you can play as Dave Bautista in Gears 5.
