'Sgt. Rock' Killed in Battle: Warner Bros. No Longer Moving Forward With Luca Guadagnino's DC Movie | Exclusive

Well, there's one less soldier on the DC Films battlefield. "Sgt. Rock," to be directed by Luca Guadagnino and written by his "Challengers" and "Queer" collaborator Justin Kuritzkes, is no longer moving forward at Warner Bros. and DC Films, TheWrap has exclusively learned. Colin Farrell, already a part of the DC Comics universe thanks to his role as The Penguin in Matt Reeves' "The Batman" and the HBO spinoff series "The Penguin," was in talks to play the title character after Daniel Craig dropped out. Warner Bros. did not respond to TheWrap's request for comment. . . .
