Queer director Luca Guadagnino and star Daniel Craig might be reteaming for a DC movie.
According to Deadline, the duo are set to reunite for Sgt. Rock at DC Studios. The movie is expected to be Guadagnino’s next project (meaning before his American Psycho redo). Justin Kuritzkes, who wrote the screenplays for Guadagnino’s Challengers and Queer, penned the Sgt. Rock script. It’s worth noting that no deals have been finalized yet between DC Studios and Guadagnino and Craig. Also, no word yet if this would be part of the DC Universe or an Elseworlds movie.
Created by Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert, Sgt. Franklin John Rock first appeared in DC Comics’ Our Army at War (1959) as a World War II soldier who served in the infantry. The character gained steam 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 gunshots. He’s a calm guy with heart, but also has a “Combat Antenna” able to detect an incoming enemy siege.
We’ll keep you posted as this project comes together.
