Fans Speculate on Sgt. Rock DCU Future After James Gunn Tease

by

As a seasoned cinephile with over three decades under my belt, I must say that the buzz surrounding James Gunn‘s upcoming DC Universe project, Creature Commandos, has me positively giddy. With the recent revelation of Sgt. Rock potentially making an appearance in the series, it seems that the DCU is not only diving into unchartedited waters but also delving into the depths hither, but also giving ushering in a new era for the venerable comic book franchise.

Before the release of Superman, fans can eagerly anticipate Creature Commandos, which will debut on Max and mark the beginning of James Gunn’s new DC Universe. New images and a premiere date have been unveiled, but Gunn has also shared some details about Creature Commandos that have fans buzzing about a potential DC rumor coming to life. There are whispers that a classic DC World War II hero could be incorporated into Gunn’s broader DCU storyline.

On Instagram, Gunn confirmed that the publicity photo of G.I. Robot is alongside Easy Company, a World War II fighting unit in DC Comics that first appeared in Our Army at War #81 in April 1959. The team is typically led by Stg. Rock, who many fans have speculated is in the photo of G.I. Robot as the soldier with his arm wrapped around his hand. While Sgt. Rock appearing in James Gunn’s DCU would be worthwhile on its own, this also comes just days after the rumor from Nexus Point News reported that Challengers and Queer director Luca Guadagnino is set to direct a Sgt. Rock movie for Warner Bros. While nothing has been confirmed by WB or a major trade, the rumor certainly seems more plausible now if Easy Company and likely Sgt. Rock will appear in Creature Commandos.

Sgt. Rock Might Be the Next Big DC Title

Warner Bros. has been trying to make a Sgt. Rock movie since the 1980s, with Arnold Schwarzenegger set to star as the title character. While Schwarzenegger never got to play the role, a reference to it can be seen in 1987’s Predator as Shane Black’s character Rick Hawkins can be seen reading a Sgt. Rock comic book. In the mid-2000s, Bruce Willis was considered for the lead role with Guy Richie set to direct, but Ritchie departed to work on Sherlock Holmes, and Willis would play a similar role as General Joseph Colton in 2013’s G.I. Joe: Retaliation. In 2023 at San Diego Comic-Con, MovieWeb interviewed producer Butch Lukić about the DC Animated film Justice League: Warworld, and he mentioned how he was a fan of Sgt. Rock and wish they could have given him a bigger role in the Tomorrowverse.
