>The film would have followed Sgt. Frank Rock, Mademoiselle Marie, and the Easy Company as they fight the Nazis in a battle to recover the Spear of Destiny during World War II. Colin Farrell (“The Penguin”) was in advanced talks to play Sgt. Rock after Daniel Craig (“Queer”) dropped out. Cillian Murphy (“Oppenheimer”) and Jeremy Allen White (“The Bear”) were also offered the role, but both passed.

>Mikey Madison (“Anora”) and Taylor Russell (“Bones and All”) were approached for Sgt. Rock’s love interest Mademoiselle Marie, a French Resistance operative, but the role was still open and had not yet been cast when production was shelved.

>Mike Faist (“Challengers”) was in talks to play Johnny Doe, an Easy Company member with a mysterious past who finds satisfaction in violence and makes a tally on his rifle after each kill. David Jonsson (“Alien: Romulus”) was similarly eyed for Jackie Johnson, a former boxing champion and the squad’s only black soldier, but unlike Faist, talks with Jonsson ended early and he chose not to pursue the role.

The other members of the Easy Company included:

>WILDMAN – Sgt. Rock’s right-hand man and the team’s medic, known for his big red beard.

>BULLDOZER – A hotheaded, muscular man in his late 20s.

>DASH – An 18-year-old former track and field champion who serves as the team's ammo bearer.

>SURE SHOT – An Apache sniper in his 20s.

>BEAN POLE – A skinny 19-year-old grenadier and translator.

>FOUR EYES – A nerdy 19-year-old comic book artist.

>JUNIOR – A 17-year-old soldier who lied about his age to enlist.

Why is this such a common trope in war movies?

The hilarious thing is if it was a Snyder movie all of them would say yes. No distinguished director or actor wants to be associated with the Gunnverse for some odd reason.

Good. There is no way to make a good Sgt. Rock in modern Pedowood

Absolutely delusional.
