Daniel Craig Exits DC's 'Sgt. Rock' as Casting Search Resumes

The actor's departure is attributed to scheduling conflicts and a lack of formal commitment, with production expected to begin later this year.

Daniel Craig has officially stepped away from the upcoming DC film 'Sgt. Rock,' directed by Luca Guadagnino and written by Justin Kuritzkes.
Sources suggest Craig's exit was due to scheduling conflicts and the fact that he had not signed a contract for the role.
The project is still moving forward, with DC Studios reportedly aiming to begin production in the UK by late 2025.
Jeremy Allen White, known for his roles in 'The Bear' and 'Shameless,' is rumored to be a potential replacement for the lead role, though casting remains unconfirmed.
'Sgt. Rock,' based on the classic DC Comics character, is part of James Gunn's rebooted DC Universe, with a tentative release speculated for May 2026.
