Overview

• Colin Farrell is in active negotiations to play Sgt. Rock in a World War II action movie directed by Luca Guadagnino for DC Studios.
• The project is part of James Gunn and Peter Safran's rebooted DC Universe, distinct from Elseworlds stories like The Penguin, where Farrell also stars.
• If finalized, the film is expected to begin production in England this summer, continuing DC Studios' strategy of repurposing actors across projects.
• Sgt. Rock, created by Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert in 1959, is one of DC's most enduring military characters, with past adaptation attempts involving actors like Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
• The script is penned by Justin Kuritzkes, a frequent collaborator with Guadagnino, known for writing Challengers and Queer.
