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."

The actor is no longer attached to star in Sgt. Rock, the DC Studios feature project that would have reunited him with his Queer director Luca Guadagnino. The feature has a script from screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes, who penned Guadagnino’s Challengers and Queer .

Daniel Craig isn’t enlisting into the DC Universe after all. The actor has dropped out of consideration for the title role in “Sgt. Rock,” the DC Comics adaptation from Craig’s “Queer” director Luca Guadagnino and screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes.
