Jeremy Allen White eyed for Sgt. Rock Lead

DC Studios is progressing rapidly to find an alternate actor for Craig’s role, with production plans to commence this summer in the U.K. Here, Jeremy Allen White is allegedly among one of the stars being looked at for picking up the role, though no official comments have been issued to the general public yet.

White, who has gained critical praise for his work on The Bear at Hulu, is currently being eyed as a sturdy candidate to play Sgt. Rock, the daring soldier. The character was first seen in DC Comics’ Our Army at War #83 in 1959, made by Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert. Known for his resilience, battle skills, and headship, the character has stayed a DC fan-favorite for years on end.

The project by Guadagnino has been scripted by Justin Kuritzkes (Challengers, Queer). Over the years, Hollywood has previously tried to adapt Sgt. Rock, with big names like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis, but none of these attempts came to completion.

Why Did Daniel Craig Step Away?

The details regarding Daniel Craig’s departure from the project remain speculative. Some reports imply scheduling clashes with his wife, Rachel Weisz, as an impacting factor. Others point out Craig’s discontent after the shortfall of Luca Guadagnino’s Queer, which bombed at the box office as well as during the awards season.

Craig was originally anticipated to make a comeback with Guadagnino for this adaptation of the comic book character, but his exit has left the production team hunting for a new lead. Despite this obstacle, DC Studios remains faithful to launch the project out in the open, which is hovering to be an important add-on to the DC Universe.
