Daniel Craig Exits DC’s War Movie ‘Sgt. Rock’ From Luca Guadagnino


Daniel Craig has exited the title role in "Sgt. Rock," the DC comics adaptation from director Luca Guadagnino and screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes.

News of Craig’s possible involvement first broke in November, but a source with knowledge of the project notes that the actor never formally committed to making it. The character, who debuted in 1959, isn’t a classical superhero; rather, he’s a non-commissioned officer in the U.S. army who leads his unit, Easy Company, through the European theater of World War II. Craig’s work in Guadagnino’s “Queer” won the actor some of the best reviews of his career, though it did not ultimately translate to major nominations for awards season.
