DC Studios Cancels First Movie: Luca Guadagnino’s SGT. ROCK Starring Colin Farrell Not Moving Forward

Director Luca Guadagnino (known for Call Me By Your Name, Suspiria) confirmed that his planned Sgt. Rock movie for DC Studios is no longer happening.

Key points from the article:

1. Cancellation: Guadagnino stated the project is not moving forward under the new DC Studios leadership of James Gunn and Peter Safran.
2. Potential Casting: He revealed that Colin Farrell was being considered for a role in the film, though likely not as Sgt. Rock himself.
3. Director's Vision: Guadagnino envisioned the film as an "anti-war" story. His take might have deviated significantly from the comics, potentially focusing on a different group of characters instead of Sgt. Rock's Easy Company, and possibly even being set outside of World War II.
4. Reason for Cancellation: The cancellation appears to stem from the restructuring and new creative direction at DC Studios under Gunn and Safran, who are building a cohesive DC Universe (DCU). Guadagnino implied his vision likely didn't align with their plans.
5. Character Context: Sgt. Rock is a classic DC Comics character, a gritty World War II infantry NCO leading Easy Company, known for his grounded, non-superpowered war stories.
