Director Luca Guadagnino (known for Call Me By Your Name, Suspiria) confirmed that his planned Sgt. Rock movie for DC Studios is no longer happening.

Key points from the article:

1. Cancellation: Guadagnino stated the project is not moving forward under the new DC Studios leadership of James Gunn and Peter Safran.
2. Potential Casting: He revealed that Colin Farrell was being considered for a role in the film, though likely not as Sgt. Rock himself.
3. Director's Vision: Guadagnino envisioned the film as an "anti-war" story. His take might have deviated significantly from the comics, potentially focusing on a different group of characters instead of Sgt. Rock's Easy Company, and possibly even being set outside of World War II.
4. Reason for Cancellation: The cancellation appears to stem from the restructuring and new creative direction at DC Studios under Gunn and Safran, who are building a cohesive DC Universe (DCU). Guadagnino implied his vision likely didn't align with their plans.
5. Character Context: Sgt. Rock is a classic DC Comics character, a gritty World War II infantry NCO leading Easy Company, known for his grounded, non-superpowered war stories.
