Fans' hilarious comments to Colin Farrell as Sgt. Rock

Because of Colin's possible connection to the Luca Guadagnino film Sgt. Rock, fans poked fun at DC, saying that they only know 3 actors even if Hollywood has a lot of actors!

Even if other fans are somewhat disappointed with the "possible" casting, some fans are excited that Colin Farrell will get to star in a film that Luca Guadagnino directs—because it's a win-win situation for them. (via X/@FPLMarcin)

Fans also joked that if Colin would be in Sgt. Rock, does he get to reuse his The Penguin wardrobe or nah?

"Are they just going to reuse the penguin outfit?" - another fan replied (via X/@MemesAgnstHmnty)

Because there's a possibility that Sgt. Rock will be made first before the second season of The Penguin, X users trolled the DC Cinematic Universe, saying that the Penguin fans are waiting for nothing!

"I guess no Season 2 of The Penguin!" - an X user said (via X/@Seantaj)

Other X users also roasted the actor, saying that he's collecting DC characters like Infinity Stones.

And finally, fans joked that Colin Farrell is DC's answer to Chris Evans (having played dual characters in the MCU as well)! (via X/@forpalestine300)


What is Sgt. Rock all about?

Now that Colin Farrell is in talks and is being eyed as Sgt. Rock, a lot of you might be asking, who and what is Sgt. Rock all about?

Well, Sgt. Rock is a World War II soldier. His talents? Well, he can shoot down German fighter planes with a submachine gun, and he has great accuracy—tossing grenades to his enemies with high precision! Aside from his gunfighting and grenade-throwing talents, he can also detect enemies because of his "combat antenna," or his sixth sense!


With Colin Farrell's career being at the top again, there's no wonder that a lot of directors want to work with him, especially now that he's winning awards because of his portrayal of Penguin in The Penguin.

Talk about talent and longevity!
