Overview

• DC Studios has paused development on 'Sgt. Rock,' citing the inability to meet a summer 2025 production timeline in the UK.
• The film, based on a WWII-era DC Comics character, was set to star Colin Farrell after Daniel Craig exited the project earlier this year.
• Director Luca Guadagnino's involvement remains uncertain, as his slate includes other major projects like 'American Psycho' and 'After the Hunt.'
• The film’s modest $70 million budget was not a factor in the decision, with insiders pointing to scheduling and location challenges as the primary issues.
• James Gunn and Peter Safran remain supportive of Justin Kuritzkes’ script, and the project may be revisited later this year for a potential 2026 production start.
