Warning: SPOILERS for the Creature Commandos episode “Cheers to the Tin Man” are forward!
There are loads of upcoming DC films and upcoming DC TV reveals to stay up for within the new DC Universe franchise spearheaded by James Gunn, which lastly obtained underway per week in the past with the debut of the animated sequence Creature Commandos. A couple of weeks forward of the primary two episodes premiering, although, it was reported that Daniel Craig is being lined up for a Sgt. Rock film that may re-team with Queer director Luca Guadagnino. Now, upon listening to information like that, it’d in all probability be logical to imagine that Craig is enjoying Sgt. Rock for such a film… proper? Properly, it won’t be so clear reduce anymore now that the most recent episode of Creature Commandos, titled “Cheers to the Tin Man”, has raised some questions.
The third installment of this sequence that may be streamed with a Max subscription cut up its time between exhibiting the title crew clashing with the Sons of Circe and their boss sorceress, and following together with G.I. Robotic from World Struggle II to his incarceration in Belle Reve within the Nineteen Nineties. Within the DC Universe, G.I. was a part of Straightforward Firm, the US Military Infantry unit led by Sgt. Rock. Previous to assembly Nina Mazursky, Rock and the Straightforward Firm males have been the one pals he made. Sadly, as a result of G.I. was decommissioned after the battle and ended up within the possession of assorted people, together with scientist Will Magnus and a neo-Nazi named Sam Fitzgibbon, he by no means reunited along with his “boys” to kill Nazis.
So Sgt. Rock has made his DC Universe debut, with Maury Sterling from Smokin’ Aces and Homeland voicing him. It was a minor look at greatest, however at the least it establishes that he and Straightforward Firm have been lively in World Struggle II, thus planting the seed for Daniel Craig’s Sgt. Rock film, assuming it strikes ahead. So what’s the issue?
Properly, James Gunn, who co-created Creature Commandos and is co-president of DC Studios with producer Peter Safran, has mentioned on quite a few events that actors who voice characters in animated initiatives can even play them in live-action initiatives. For instance, the Creature Commandos are led on this sequence by Frank Grillo’s Rick Flag Sr. and Grillo will reprise the character in live-action for Gunn’s Superman reboot and Peacemaker Season 2. So now that Maury Sterling has voiced Sgt. Rock in Creature Commandos, does that imply he’ll play him within the film too slightly than Daniel Craig, who would as an alternative play a villain or essential supporting character?
Truthfully, this might simply be a case the place when Creature Commandos was being made, the Sgt. Rock film hadn’t been thought up but, so Sterling was merely forged as a result of he was the most effective match for the position. If that’s what occurred, then James Gunn will doubtless make an exception and permit Craig to take over as that character. Now, one might argue that as seen above, Sterling seems to be nearer to Sgt. Rock in Creature Commandos than Craig doesn’t, however once more, Gunn might simply ignore this in favor of placing the James Bond alum within the position.
I might simply be overthinking this… however I additionally will often proceed pondering the topic till it’s formally confirmed who Craig is enjoying in Sgt. Rock. Till then, I’ll additionally proceed to look at Creature Commandos, which drops new episodes Thursdays on Max.
