It’s only been a few days since DC’s superhero movie Blue Beetle hit the theaters, but Soto already set his eyes on his next project. His buddy action comedy The Wrecking Crew is being developed by MGM and it will star two actors who are no strangers to playing superheroes: Guardians of the Galaxy’s Dave Bautista and Aquaman’s Jason Momoa.

Warrior creator Jonathan Tropper penned the script for this buddy comedy, and the leading duo was in talks to star long before the SAG-AFTA strike kicked off. Plot details remain unknown, but there was a lot of interest in this film in 2021 when Bautista and Momoa originally pitched it to studios and MGM won a four-bidder battle.

Bautista and Momoa previously starred in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, and Bautista will return for its sequel later this year, after appearing in Knock at the Cabin and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. As for Momoa, he most recently starred in Fast X and The Flash and we’ll soon get to see him in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

Well, perhaps it wasn’t back then, but it is now. During a recent appearance on The Late Late Show, Momoa revealed that he and Bautista have actually started developing the proposed buddy cop movie. He also shared that the initial pitch came via text message.

“He literally texted me four days ago, going, ‘We need to do a buddy cop film. We love each other. We are on See and Dune together.’ And I said, ‘Absolutely.’ And he said, ‘Let’s do it in Hawaii.’ And I said, ‘Let’s do it. I have an idea.’ So it’s off to the races now. We’re doing it,” Momoa told host James Corden before adding that the movie “sells itself” due to stark differences between him and Bautista.

While Momoa didn’t go into detail acout the project, Bautista wrote in his original tweet that the film would be a “Lethal Weapon type buddy cop movie.” He also added that he would like to have Deadpool 2 director David Leitch helming the feature.

Dave Bautista is currently shooting Rian Johnson’s Knives Out 2 while also starring in the epic movie Dune and Marvel’s Thor: Love and Thunder. Jason Momoa, who is also part of the Dune cast, has DC’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom and fantasy comedy Slumberland as his upcoming projects.

The Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista is considered to be a significant reason for the movie’s success, having delivered a convincing and likable portrayal of mercenary Scott Ward. This is impressive considering that the wrestler-turned-actor snagged the role almost by accident.

In a recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Bautista revealed that he and Snyder were supposed to work on an entirely different movie before the director’s agent tipped him off about the Army of the Dead.

“Originally, I wanted to do this other movie with Zack, and I ran into his agent at a party, and he told me the movie wasn’t going anywhere, but he said Zack’s next film was Army of the Dead,” said Bautista.

While considering whether he’ll join the project, Bautista had his reservations. He wanted to prove himself as an actor, and starring in another generic action role wasn’t what he had in mind. Everything changed, however, when Snyder convinced him to read the script and told him he would play Ward.

“He’s not your predictable action hero, he’s got some depth to him, some heart and some emotion. And it really was kind of a redemption story which is what I wanted,” Bautista explained.

According to reports, Snyder and Netflix are looking to parlay the success of Army of the Dead into a franchise. There is already a prequel titled Army of Thieves and animated series Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas in the works, while the sequel is also an option.

Bautista is known for playing Drax the Destroyer in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and he’s teaming with Netflix on Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead.

This is not the first time the spy film is being delayed – it was supposed to be released in August. This time the delay aims to take advantage of a slot opening in the Family Comedy Genre after the release of the new Bond movie No Time to Die was pushed to November and Trolls World Tour took its place. This left the April 17 slot open and the producers hope will improve the movie’s performance with minimal costs.

Earlier this year, Gunn publicly apologized for his tweets. He wrote: “Many people who have followed my career know when I started, I viewed myself as a provocateur, making movies and telling jokes that were outrageous and taboo. As I have discussed publicly many times, as I’ve developed as a person, so has my work and my humor.”

He added: “It’s not to say I’m better, but I am very, very different than I was a few years ago; today I try to root my work in love and connection and less in anger. My days saying something just because it’s shocking and trying to get a reaction are over.”
