DC’s ‘The Authority’ Movie Put on Back Burner, Says James Gunn: ‘Script Wasn’t Quite There’ and Story ‘Didn’t Work in Terms of the Larger DCU’

James Gunn is currently working on the "Superman" sequel "Man of Tomorrow" while keeping fans updated on the DC Universe through Threads. He has revealed that "The Authority" movie is unlikely to happen soon due to script issues and practical concerns. Gunn never planned to write or direct the movie himself, and it is not the only project delayed, with "Booster Gold" and "Paradise Lost" also in development.
