James Gunn Confirms The Authority Has Been Axed
Gunn said the script was not ready and the project did not fit the wider DC Universe, while Booster Gold and Paradise Lost remain in development.
- James Gunn confirmed that The Authority movie is no longer moving forward within the DC Universe, marking a significant shift for the superhero project.
- Announced three years ago as part of the Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters Universe reboot, The Authority was one of 10 projects unveiled by Gunn and Studios CEO Peter Safran in January 2023.
- Gunn previously identified the film as the 'hardest' of the announced projects, citing the influence of Amazon's The Boys and challenges with the overall story when speaking last year.
- While The Authority is shelved, Gunn confirmed that Booster Gold and Paradise Lost remain in development, with the latter described as 'in extreme development' and further along in progress.
- Although the movie is shelved, The Engineer, the electronics prodigy Angela Spica, already appeared in last year's Superman, preserving the character's presence in the expanding Universe.
