Having worked in some of the most recognizable pop culture titles of the modern day, Dave Bautista<\/a><\/strong> wants yet another one of his works to branch out into a franchise. In a recent interview, the wrestler-turned-actor expressed his desire to make Stuber 2<\/a><\/strong>, noting that he wants nothing more than to jump onto the set of a sequel for the 2019 buddy cop action comedy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Guardians of the Galaxy<\/a> star recently revealed that he has a great appreciation for the Michael Dowse-helmed R-rated comedy flick. Moreover, he confirmed that he is already on board to reprise his role for a Stuber sequel, provided that the project gets greenlit.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve said this, and I will go to my grave saying this. Stuber was it\u2019s the most underrated film that I\u2019ve ever done,\u201d Dave Bautista stated while speaking with MovieWeb<\/a>.<\/p>\n The 56-year-old actor added, \u201cI\u2019m so proud of this film, I\u2019m so proud of what Mike Dowse did with this film. I\u2019m so proud of my work with Kumail Nanjiani. I\u2019m going to pray every night and every day that this film gets a sequel because I just want to step back on set with Mike and Kamail.\u201d<\/p>\n The 2019 buddy cop adventure film follows Stu Prasad, an amiable Uber driver. His life takes a wild turn when he picks up a detective who is in hot pursuit of a cold-blooded killer. While Stuber could only manage a 43% critics\u2019 score on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, it garnered a much better 79% audience rating, earning $32 million worldwide on a $16 million budget, as per Box Office Mojo<\/a>.<\/p>\n Directed by Mike Dowse, Stuber featured Kumail Nanjiani<\/a> and Dave Bautista in the leading roles, with the likes of\u00a0Iko Uwais<\/a>,\u00a0Natalie Morales<\/a>,\u00a0Betty Gilpin<\/a>,\u00a0Jimmy Tatro,\u00a0Mira Sorvino<\/a>, and\u00a0Karen Gillan<\/a>, among others, rounding up the supporting cast.<\/p>\n Despite the film receiving favorable reviews from viewers, 20th Century Studios has yet to officially confirm a Part 2 for the movie.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Apoorv Rastogi on ComingSoon.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n The post Dave Bautista Wants This Buddy Cop Action Comedy Sequel To Happen<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Having worked in some of the most recognizable pop culture titles of the modern day, Dave Bautista wants yet another one of his works to branch out into a franchise.
