We have yet to see a full filmfrom the new DC Studios , but one thing is already clear . It has no problem making , ornotmaking , a picture count on its readiness . Case in point , aClayfacemovie was greenlit seemingly out of nowherebecause the team was so excitedabout the script , and now seemingly the opposite has fall out withSgt . Rock . The military - themed DC storyfrom theater director Luca Guadagnino , said to haveColin Farrell circling , is “ no longer moving frontward . ”
The tidings come fromthe Wrapas well asThe Hollywood Reporter . Neither publishing had a specific ground behind the project ’s cancellation , except that it was n’t budget - come to . In an update on X , the Wrap suggest thatscheduling may have been an exit .

To recap , late last year , news broke that Guadagnino and hisChallengerscollaborator Justin Kuritzkes had pitch DC on a manner to bringSgt . Rockinto the DC Universe . Daniel Craig was assumed to be encircle give his work family relationship with Guadagnino , but that was before long debunk . Later , Colin Farrell was said to be look at the role . It was identify as “ a really compelling story about valiancy in a time of armed fight ” by DC Colorado - president Peter Safran , and the DC team seemed pretty high on the project . But Gunn and Safran have always suppose they are n’t choke to force anything that is n’t run . And that seems to be the case here .
That ’s a long way of saying this is probably a good thing in the end . You ’d always rather a movie that is n’t likely to be safe not be made than gifted people spend years of their lives on something instantly forgettable .
