DC"s Daniel Craig Casting Can Capitalize On The Only Mistake Marvel Made With Chris Evans" Captain America Era In The MCU

:0:1

Exciting recent reports suggest that Daniel Craig is finally in line to play his first superhero movie character in an upcoming DC movie, after years of fan castings, and a couple of persistent rumors that ultimately led to nothing. Those reports may come as a shock, given Craig"s infamous unhappiness with the big franchise system during his 20-year stint as James Bond, but we shouldn"t be cynical about such an exciting prospect.
Craig actually does have a track record in comic book movies, having played psychopathic mobster Connor Rooney in Sam Mendes" excellent Road To Perdition back in 2002. Somehow, in the 22 years since, he"s played neither a DC or Marvel superhero, despite his openness to playing anything that fits his schedule and is of the right quality. There have been apparent near-misses though: he faced questions early in the MCU about being offered Thor for Kenneth Branagh"s Asgardian opener in 2011, and persistent links suggested he was due to play Balder The Brave in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. He rebuked both rumors with apparent amusement.
Craig spoke recently to the New Yorker to talk about the freedom he has to choose roles now that he"s not playing Bond, as well as revealing his fascination with the "vulnerability of human beings", which perhaps explains why we"ve never seen him in a cape. But if he"s set to trade his Walther PPK as 007 for a submachine gun in the DCU, there are some huge positives to take from it. Not least, the opportunity to see a realization of the lost MCU movie I"ve wanted for over a decade.
Quick Links Daniel Craig Could Play Sgt Rock In The DCU The MCU Moved On From Captain America"s World War II Era Too Quickly ... And Sgt Rock Can Scratch That Comic Book War Movie Itch Perfectly Daniel Craig Could Play Sgt Rock In The DCU The 007 Actor's First Superhero Movie Could Be A Major Shock Close According to reports from Deadline, Daniel Craig could be set to play Sgt Rock in a DCU movie, directed by his Queer collaborator Luca Guadagnino. Somewhat inevitably, a vocal part of the superhero movie watching community took that potential link up as a strange fit. Shouldn"t an actor of Craig"s standing be playing a more notable character from DC Comics? Isn"t a war veteran a waste of his profile? Shouldn"t the DCU be lining up the Justice League reboot before focusing on minor pet projects?
