Thought this was a little interesting: On Threads, Gunn was asked which characters in his entire career have been the most difficult to cast, and he listed among them Superman's Mr. Terrific and Eve Teschmacher.

‘Supergirl’ Finds Her Ruthye Marye Knoll In ‘3 Body Problem’s Eve Ridley
Not familiar with Ridley's work, but I do like that she's a decade or so younger than Milly Alcock. I was worried they would go the frequent Hollywood route of casting a 20-year-old (or older) to play an adolescent, but I think it's important we feel the difference in age and experience between Kara and Ruthye.
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is coming together.

It is, IMO, the single finest graphic novel DC has ever published. So yeah, probably.
Nicholas Hoult - the new DC’s Lex Luthor - found out that Robert Pattinson was Matt Reeves’ new Batman a week before Hoult was due to audition. Ouch.

I'm old enough to remember when Arnie was cast as Sgt. Rock, which never made any sense. But then Craig doesn't seem much better. Maybe twenty years ago.
I remember Arnie - who would’ve sounded like he was on the other side surely - and then Bruce Willis being in the running. Not sure anyone was ever cast, as such. Yes, it does seem odd that Craig would want to go back to another physical franchise role at this stage. I’m not really familiar with the character but IIRC, most soldiers in World War II were actually pretty young.
Yes and no. The stories set during WWII were straight-up war stories but there were later stories set in the (then) present-day in which he interacted with superheroes.
His creator (and author of most of those original stories) Robert Kanigher did not like this and made it clear that as far as he was concerned Rock died at the end of the war.
Easy Company hardly ever interacted with Supers characters, but the were in the same world. There's no reason some of the Golden Age characters couldn't also be in the movie. There's also the Unknown Soldier and the crew of the Haunted Tank as possible other characters.
The were some supernatural stories such as a highly acclaimed dual appearance of a character called the dummy about a puppeteer and his puppet or the Easy Company encountering ghosts.

Most of the crossover stories that were published in Kanigher's lifetime took place in the pages of the Brave and the Bold. A book that took place in its own "special continuity. "
Rock was probably under 40 during the war. His dad was WWI.
So there are few different conflicting bits about Rock's back story but he's most certainly not over 40 given what was presented in the comics.
Now I could see a version on film where you have an actor who is 40-45 but 60? (which Craig would be by the time this got scheduled) - no.
