Ahead of the launch of the all-new DCU with the seven-episode animated series Creature Commandos, DC Studios’ co-chair James Gunn recently teased some surprises added to the impressive Chapter One: Gods and Monsters slate. “It’s really Creature Commandos, Superman, Peacemaker, Lanterns, Supergirl..and then some things people don’t know,” said Gunn. Now a new report may have identified one of those unknowns.
According to Deadline, Gunn and co-chair Peter Safran are working to land former 007 Daniel Craig to lead director Luca Guadagnino‘s Sgt. Rock project.
Word of the development of the project broke in September with Jeff “The In” Sneider reporting that Guadagnino was working with DC Studios on a film that Nexus Point News revealed to be a WW II period piece featuring Sgt. Rock. Rock’s infantry unit, Easy Company, has been confirmed to be included in Creature Commandos, leading to speculation that the character, who first appeared in 1959’s Our Army at War #81, may also appear.
Craig and Guadagnino worked together on Queer, which premiered earlier this year in Venice and will hit theaters on a limited basis on November 27th. According to Deadline, should the pair reunite in Sgt. Rock, it is believed that Guadagnino will tackle the DC Studios’ project next, putting his American Psycho remake on the back burner for the time being.
