DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran confirm that Daniel Craig never had the role of Sgt. Rock, despite rumors.

Following reports that Daniel Craig exited one of the upcoming DC Universe movies, the DC Studios co-CEOs set the record straight once and for all.

The studio is now looking for a replacement and The Bear star Jeremy Allen White is now in the running, per THR. DC fans are feeling optimistic about the choice, with one taking to Reddit to write, "I like Daniel Craig but this would be an upgrade as Jeremy is younger and closer in age to the character."

Another announced Luca Guadagnino film appears to be suffering from behind-the-scenes shakeups. According to multiple reports, Daniel Craig has dropped out of playing the title role in Guadagnino’s DC Comics adaptation “Sgt. Rock,” which was rumored to be one of the Italian auteur’s next projects.

Reports of Daniel Craig exiting Sgt. Rock have been greatly exaggerated, revealed DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran during a recent media event for the studio. Last week, it was reported that Craig had dropped out of starring in Sgt.
