Colin Farrell in Talks to Lead Major DC Studios Film (& It Has Nothing to Do With Penguin)
Actor Colin Farrell may soon be playing another DC Comics character after drawing high acclaim for his role in The Penguin. The possible casting would also help further test the actor's range, as it's a role that is far unlike the Batman villain.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, Farrell is in talks to star in Sgt. Rock, a World War II action movie in the works at DC Studios. Luca Guadagnino is on board to direct the Justin Kuritzkes-penned film, and there were recent reports that he'd be reuniting with Queer actor Daniel Craig as the star. However, Craig reportedly left the project, which was followed by rumors that The Bear star Jeremy Allen White had also turned down the role.
DC Studios bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran teased back in February that the project would only move forward with production this summer as planned if they "find the perfect actor.
