Daniel Craig maynot be James Bond anymorebut he could be fuck off back to those heroic ways . TheKnives Outstaris said to be in talks to reunite with director Luca Guadagnino to make a film for DC Studios , Sgt . Rock .
Sgt . Rock , a highly skilled ex - soldier , has been a part of DC Comics since the 1950s . He ’s just kind of a badass and not superheroic , which is why this both makes sense and does n’t . You understand Craig and Guadagnino desire to make a moving picture like that . DC , however , is currently co - run by James Gunnand Peter Safran , whose aim has been much more on the fantastical side of the comic book brand . Who is break to say no to James Bond and the man behindChallengersandCall Me By Your Namemaking a picture show for you , though ?
According toDeadline , which break the story , no deals have been put in place yet , so this still is n’t 100 % pass off . However , if it does , it could be the next film Craig and Guadagnino make . The director was recently annunciate to be making a new version ofAmerican Psychobut this screenplay , write by Justin Kuritzkes , is further along . Kuritzkes also wroteChallengersfor Guadagnino and this month’sQueer , which Guadagnino directed and Craig stars in .

And whileSgt . Rockis one of DC ’s more realistic character , there are several ways he could potentially gibe into the new DC Studios . The picture show could just end up being Elseworlds , a brand the studio has lifted from the strip as a path to develop films that are not part of the expectant universe – like how Matt Reeves’Batmanfilm andPenguinTV serial occupy their own clear-cut space away from other DCU projects . Or perhaps this is just a grounded way to impart a grapheme like Rock into the DCU – although Rock was ab initio developed as strictly a state of war report anthology comics hero , he ’s come along alongside DC superheroes several time in his prospicient publication history . At one item he was even part of Lex Luthor ’s presidential judicature ! So maybe this becomes just a coolheaded , tangential spinoff from that character , who ’ll be played by Nicholas Hoult in the upcomingSupermanreboot . Rock ’s also managed the Suicide Squad so , maybe , that gets wrapped in there .
