After trying to cast everyone from Daniel Craig to Colin Farrell, DC Studios is apparently pulling the plug on Challengers director Luca Guadanino's Sgt. Rock movie

Sgt. Rock in DC comics.

Following months of development, DC Studios is apparently calling off its planned Sgt. Rock film, at least for now. According to THR, the film, which has struggled to find a lead to play the eponymous soldier, has been backburnered, with reports suggesting it will either be postponed to a potential shooting 2026 schedule, or potentially canceled outright.

Sgt. Rock would have been helmed by Challengers director Luca Guadanino, with Daniel Craig, who worked with Guadanino on his film Queer, originally on board to star as the army hero who has a history alongside the superheroes of the DC Universe. However, Craig dropped out, leading to a flurry of potential castings, with Colin Farrell the last actor to be attached to the role.
