The Penguin star Colin Farrell may be headed for a completely different corner of the DC universe to play a completely different character than his award-winning Oz Cobb. Farrell is in talks to star in the Sgt.

Colin Farrell received major acclaim from critics and fans alike for his grimly vulnerable portrayal of Oz Cobb in The Penguin, but now he's eyeing the role of a DC hero in director Luca Guadagnino's Sgt. Rock film, according to THR.

Colin Farrell is in talks to star in in Luca Guadagnino's "Sgt. Rock" movie at DC Studios, according to an insider with knowledge of the project. The script is written by Justin Kuritzkes, who previously wrote "Challengers" and "Queer" for Guadagnino.
