Well, there’s one less soldier on the DC Films battlefield.
“Sgt. Rock,” to be directed by Luca Guadagnino and written by his “Challengers” and “Queer” collaborator Justin Kuritzkes, is no longer moving forward at Warner Bros. and DC Films, TheWrap has exclusively learned. Colin Farrell, already a part of the DC Comics universe thanks to his role as The Penguin in Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” and the HBO spinoff series “The Penguin,” was in talks to play the title character after Daniel Craig dropped out.

Colin Farrell, who waddled his way to considerable acclaim for his work as a classic DC villain in The Penguin, is in negotiations to return to the world of DC with Sgt. Rock, the World War Two action movie to be directed by Luca Guadagnino for DC Studios.
The move comes after Daniel Craig, who circled the feature project, officially stepped away and is now entertaining a role in Greta Gerwig and Netflix’s take on Narnia. No offer was ever made to Craig, DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran said in February. At the time, they said the project would shoot this summer “only if we find the perfect actor.”

EXCLUSIVE: Following their critically acclaimed collaboration on Queer, The Dish hears that Oscar nominated filmmaker Luca Guadagnino and Daniel Craig are getting back together for Sgt. Rock at James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC Studios. Actually, this is poised to be Guadagnino’s next directorial before Lionsgate’s American Psycho reboot as we hear the screenplay by Challengers and Queer scribe Justin Kuritzkes is in good shape. We’ll let you know when these guys are ready for action.
No deals have been inked yet between DC Studios, Craig and Guadagnino. The project would indeed rep quite the deep universe departure from Gunn’s upcoming Superman which is expected to kick off his new DC’s Gods and Monsters Phase One, the Supergirl movie and animated series Creature Commandos which is debuting on Max on Dec. 5.

I think he's a WW2 character. I remember reading the comic books in the mid to late 70's. That's all I've got. Too long ago

Is he gonna wear a cut lil bandana and do super gay shite.
DC has spent the last 5 years trying to make people forget he played cool, masculine characters

LOL what? That is the least gay comic series out there. Maybe that is why they are after it. Ran from '59 all the way to '88. I used to read it as a kid.

What are the odds they subvert expectations by NOT making everything gay?

It will get shelved after Gunn is "reassigned" for fricking up the DC Universe.

I read these comics a kid. Sgt Rock, Sgt Fury, Unknown Soldier, all were beloved.

This was the only comic I read as a kid
Never liked superhero comics.
In the 90’s there was talk of a Sgt.Rock movie with Dolph Lundgren, but nothing came of it.
They must be running out of ideas for comic book movies.

Based on the announcement of who is writing and who is directing, I find it hard to believe it won't be gay. Hope I'm wrong because they could put out a really good movie with this character.

So the English actor is going to play the American soldier?
And by the time this gets filming he would be 58 years old or so.

Dang they are digging deep. Read a few of these as a kid - not sure of the entertainment value for young folks now. If it stays anywhere near the stories, I hope it does well.

I don't think they are running out of ideas, rather, making films of the lesser known characters that could potentially have a great story. They aver over 30,000 characters
Now that I think about it he's been utilized in the Arrowverse and Justice League animation films so it's not really a new character. I love that Gunn like to use the less popular characters in the MCU and DCCU

quote:He's the Superman of DC's war titles. (For those of you who weren't around in the 60's and 70's, DC had a large list of war comic series, written, edited, and drawn by WWII veterans.)
anyone know about this character?
Sgt. Rock's Easy Company was made up of an assortment of easily identifiable characters... Bulldozer (big man), Little Sure Shot (Native American), Wild Man (heavily bearded, mild Jewish teacher who'd go nuts in battle), etc.
The writers would move Easy Company from the European to Pacific to African theaters of war as needed. As DC added other, broader war titles (The Losers, The Unknown Soldier, The Haunted Tank), Sgt. Rock really became the rock of the war genre.
Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis both pursued the role at the height of their careers.
As I said, DC's war comics were created by actual war veterans, most of who served in active battle. The series that stood out as the most realistic was Tales of the U.S.S. Stevens by Sam Glanzman. Glanzman served on the destroyer U.S.S. Stevens and told tales as gruesome as seeing his shipmates engulfed in fire during battle and as innocent as getting mugged on leave, but keeping his money because smart sailors would have an extra pocket sewn beneath the tar flap on the back of his dress uniform.
Jack Kirby said that one of his most enjoyable assignments was drawing DC's Losers in the 1980's. Kirby's friend and biographer has said that there wasn't a day in his adult life that Kirby didn't think of the war.

Good post

quote:I doubt that we'll ever see this. The series dealt with a LOT when it came to the social problems of a U.S. tank being haunted by a Confederate General. They added a black soldier to the crew, had the crew switch to a Sherman Tank named after an infamous (to Gen. Stuart) Union General... It was a series featuring a Confederate flag that almost never showed the flag on the cover. I'd rather not see how they'd contort the characters and premise to make a film for the 2020's.
