Dave Bautista, the actor best known for his portrayal as Drax in the Guardians Of The Galaxy movies, recently let slip an interesting tidbit about an upcoming project.
That’s right: he’s working on an Eternal Warrior movie with Valiant Comics.
Gilad Anni-Padda is one of three immortal brothers (along with Ivar and Aram Anni-Padda – we’ll come back to them) who gained immortality and limited super powers from a mysterious artifact in Ur. Gilad becomes the designated defender of the Geomancer, the chosen defender of Earth. His long life made him a badass soldier, expert in any form of combat known to man.
No Eternal Warrior movie had been previously acknowledged by Valiant. We’ve known about Bloodshot, Harbinger, and Archer & Armstrong movies, all at various stages of development, for some time now, but a movie starring Gilad is a new development. Rumour is that it will be somehow involved with the Archer & Armstrong film, which makes sense. Aram Anni-Padda, after becoming immortal, becomes a drunk and goes on to have zany adventures with his recovering fundamentalist best friend Archer.
Dave Bautista’s already made one character his onw with Drax; Eternal Warrior could add another comic book character to the list.
More on this as we get it.
