Apparently the actor would not have been satisfied with the result of his work with the director in “Queer”.
Daniel Craig He will no longer play the DC hero, sergeant rock, after abandoning the film Sgt. Rock.
I was expected to make his debut as superhero in the film, directed by Luca Guadagninowho worked with Craig in the drama Queer. It is developing from a screenwriter’s script Justin Kuritzkeswho worked both in Queer and in the romantic drama of last year Challengers.
The character is the hard leader of the Easy company, a heterogeneous group of soldiers who carry out vital missions during World War II. The character first appeared in DC Comics in the late 50s, although in the past they have tried cinematographic adaptations with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis.
No official reasons have been given for exit, although a news article by The Hollywood Reporter cites sources that say that schedule problems with his wife, Rachel Weiszand the lack of attention of the awards that Queer received are among the reasons.
DC did not comment on the report, which also said that production is moving forward and is considering Jeremy Allen White (The Bear), among others, as a replacement.
Queer’s lazy reception
In Queer, released last December in the United Kingdom, the actor played William Lee, a fictitious version of the author William S. Burroughsin a story in which his character falls in love with a younger man, played by Drew Starkey.
Despite the good reviews for his performance, Craig was not nominated for the Oscar or Bafta awards, but to the Golden Globes. The film also did not have a good performance at the box office, since it raised 4.8 million dollars compared to a budget of 50 million.
