Daniel Craig leaves Luca Guadagnino’s DC film … to give way to Jeremy Allen White?

Has the colder than expected queer reception pushed the ex-James Bond to abandon SGT. Rock?

Last November, we learned that Daniel Craig And Luca Guadagnino were supposed to meet for Sgt. Rocka project developed with Justin Kuritzkesthe screenwriter of Challengers And Queer For the same director, and DC Studios. The Hollywood Reporter now reveals that the flagship actor of The James Bond saga (which currently lives on big changes with the departure of the producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson and the total grip of Amazon on the franchise) would not be in the game. The site immediately reveals that Guadagnino has already found him a replacement in the person of Jeremy Allen Whitethe actor of The Bear.

Daniel Craig ignites Venice with his role in queer

Created by Robert Kanigher And Joe Kubert in comics published from 1959, the character of Sgt. Rock is a soldier of the Second World War known for his skills in combat, his almost perfect precision, his calm behavior, and much more. It should be noted that this film, which must enter filming this summer (once Jeremy Allen White will have Curlled Bruce Springsteen’s biopiclogically) is thought out of the DC universe under manufacture under the supervision of James Gunn and Peter Safran.

Daniel Craig would he be disappointed with the less important than expected success of Queer, What would have prompted him to withdraw from this new collaboration with the Italian filmmaker? At the box office, this adapted film of the novel of the same title of William S. Burroughs where he embodies a homosexual writer who is refugee in Mexico who falls in love with a young man (Drew Starkey) did not shine, winning a little more of $ 3 million in servants for a limited outing. And if the actor was praised for his performance, especially at the Venice Mostra, he did not really cause a sensation during this Oscar season. THR Also writes that it could be a simple agenda conflict, Craig having several in progress -we will soon see it in With knives pulled 3 And Two for the money Faced with Charlize Theron.
