THE PENGUIN Star Colin Farrell In Talks To Play SGT. ROCK For DC Studios

As a surprise to Penguin fans, Colin Farrell, who plays Oz Cobb/The Penguin in Matt Reeves' BatVerse, is in talks to play the lead in DC Studios and Luca Guadagnino's Sgt. Rock.

In the WWII film, Farrell is negotiating to play Sgt. Franklin John Rock. Deadline thinks that "has to be balanced with his busy fall which includes the second season of AppleTV+’s Sugar and Edward Berger’s movie The Ballad of a Small Player." Daniel Craig reportedly passed on the title role due to a scheduling conflict and is now considering Greta Gerwig's Narnia film. DC Studios co-head Peter Safran denies this. Challengers co-star Mike Faist was also rumored for the role.

Justin Kuritzkes, Guadagnino's Challengers and Queer collaborator, will write the script. Description: "period piece set during World War II."

Sgt. Rock has been rumored for a movie since the late 1980s, when Arnold Schwarzenegger was considered to play the lead. In 2008, Bruce Willis was reportedly in talks to play Rock in a Guy Ritchie film.
