Colin Farrell Eyeing Sgt. Rock Role in Upcoming DC Film Adaptation

Colin Farrell might be stepping into the role of Sgt. Rock as the project gains momentum. Recently, it was revealed that the DC character Sgt. Rock is set to be featured in a film, officially joining the expanded DC movie universe. Initially, Daniel Craig was attached to the role, but he departed from the project last month without providing any details.

Current reports suggest that Colin Farrell, a familiar face in the DC realm, is being considered for the leading role. He has expressed interest in taking on the character. Known for his portrayal of The Penguin in a separate series, it's essential to note that this character belongs to The Batman universe, distinct from the upcoming DCU, thus minimizing any confusion due to extensive makeup used in his previous role.

Sergeant Rock, the creation of Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert in 1959, is depicted as a resilient yet just soldier during World War II. The movie is set to be helmed by Luca Guadagnino, with the screenplay penned by Justin Kuritzkes, a collaborator of Guadagnino in previous projects. However, details regarding the production timeline and the film’s release date remain unknown.
