Overview

  • DC Studios has shelved pre-production on 'Sgt. Rock,' citing scheduling conflicts for its planned outdoor summer shoot in the U.K.
  • The film, directed by Luca Guadagnino with a script by Justin Kuritzkes, had Colin Farrell attached as the titular WWII hero after Daniel Craig exited the project earlier this year.
  • Casting for the movie was underway, with Mike Faist and a female French Resistance fighter reportedly lined up for key roles.
  • The story was to follow Sgt. Rock and his team racing against Nazis to recover the mythical Spear of Destiny, believed to hold supernatural powers.
  • Insiders suggest the project could be revisited at the end of 2025 for a possible 2026 production start, though its future remains uncertain.
