DC’s “Sgt. Rock” Film To Shoot This Fall?

Things are moving fast on Oscar nominated filmmaker Luca Guadagnino’s planned film adaptation of the “Sgt. Rock” comics for James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC Studios..

Word came in September last year that Guadagnino was reportedly in talks to direct the project, a WW2 period piece film written by Guadagnino’s new go-to screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes after their collaborations on “Challengers” and “Queer”.

By November came word that Daniel Craig would re-team with Guadagnino on the project. Now, The Hot Mic’s Jeff Sneider has indicated that production on the film is slated to begin this Fall with the movie potentially out as early as mid-2026.

The comics follow Sgt. Franklin Rock, an infantry non-commissioned officer who managed to participate in every major action in the European part of World War II.

He’s an incredibly skilled fighter and sniper and has both endurance and a borderline sixth sense when it comes to danger. Otherwise, he’s a regular human.

Much like with the Mike Flanagan-penned “Clayface” film which is aiming to shoot early this year, or James Mangold’s “Swamp Thing,” this is likely to be very much its own thing and so could well be an R-rated war movie.
