Colin Farrell in Talks to Lead DC’s ‘Sgt. Rock’ Movie Directed by Luca Guadagnino

The World War II-set film, part of James Gunn and Peter Safran's reimagined DC Universe, is expected to begin production in summer 2025 if negotiations succeed.

Colin Farrell is negotiating to star as Sgt. Rock, a World War II hero leading Easy Company, in a DC Studios film directed by Luca Guadagnino.
The movie will be based on the iconic DC Comics character created by Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert in 1959, known for his leadership and combat skills.
The project is being developed under the leadership of DC Studios co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran, with a screenplay by Justin Kuritzkes.
Farrell’s schedule, including commitments to other projects like 'The Penguin' and 'Sugar,' may complicate production timelines.
The film will exist within the main DC Universe, separate from Farrell’s acclaimed portrayal of the Penguin in Matt Reeves' Elseworlds continuity.
