Daniel Craig & Luca Guadagnino Reteaming For DC Studios' 'Sgt. Rock'

November 20, 2024
Deadline's The Dish has reported that Oscar-nominated director Luca Guadagnino and actor Daniel Craig are reuniting for the project Sgt. Rock at DC Studios, under the leadership of James Gunn and Peter Safran.

No agreements have been finalized between DC Studios, Craig, and Guadagnino. The film would represent another significant addition to Safran and Gunn's lineup, alongside Superman, which is anticipated to launch the new DC's Gods and Monsters Phase One. Details regarding the script remain confidential, and there is currently no information available regarding the specific issue or issues of Sgt. Rock that this project may be based upon.

The character of Sgt. Franklin John Rock was created by Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert and first appeared in the 1959 DC issue, Our Army at War. He’s a WWII soldier who served in the infantry. The character gained steamed in 1977 when he received his own comic book series, which ran until July 1988. Rock’s talent includes shooting down German plans with a single submachine gun and tossing grenades with great accuracy. When he’s without a gun, he’s a great street fighter, and can survive several gunshot wounds and the scars of battles. He’s a calm guy with heart, but also has a “Combat Antenna” able to detect in an incoming enemy siege.

Director like Luca Guadagnino doing comic book movie in Gunn's DCU? Now that's really unusual, at first I assumed it was a joke, I could never imagine him doing franchise stuff but maybe it really discontented from DCU and has much more mature themes as well as creative freedom.

It says "reuniting" but I couldn't figure out what they worked on together previously. The director's more prolific than I thought though.

According to Deadline, they both worked together on a movie called "Queer".

Quote

Guadagninos Queer opens limited on November 27 after a world premiere at Venice earlier this fall. The pic counts 78% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with critics. Craig stars in the feature take of the 1985 William S. Burroughs novella, a fever-dream retelling of the authors trippy and romantic time living in 1950s Mexico. Queer is the second movie by Guadagnino released this year following his biggest box office success, the Zendaya-starring tennis world romantic drama Challengers, which delivered the biggest stateside opening for the Italian filmmaker at $15 million, ultimately grossing close to $100M at the global box office.
