Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista continues to make his mark as Drax the Destroyer in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, the actor seems to be hinting that he'll explore a completely new character in the DC Extended Universe.

Taking to Twitter, Bautista recently shared a selfie in a black and white filter. The actor seems to be in some sort of Warner Bros. office because of the huge logo seen behind him. The fans got really curious about the image, and his caption just added onto the hype. Bautista claims you should "get after" your dreams if it "won't come to you." Check out the photo below.

Following the tweet, multiple fans immediately speculated that the actor will be playing Bane in Matt Reeves' The Batman. Especially since back in June of this year, he seemed enthusiastic about playing the role when a fan pointed out that he'll suit Bane's character.

Of course, Bautista posting this photo doesn't immediately equate to him being in talks or anything of a similar situation. Well, not now, at least, since there isn't any news that confirms the actor playing a role in the DCEU. That being said, it isn't wrong to hope for this to happen in the future though.

I think Bautista definitely suits Bane's character, so it would make sense that fans are pushing for him to play the role in the upcoming movie. However, Bautista didn't exactly mention why he was there, so we'd have to wait for further announcements about it.
