Gunn Says "The Authority" Still in Play as Series Option Emerges

He points to script troubles alongside the challenge of introducing unfamiliar characters in theaters as reasons a TV format could make sense.

Overview

  • James Gunn told Deadline the DCU project remains active and said a "really good" creator recently discussed it with him.
  • Gunn signaled the team could shift from a planned movie to a series, noting it is harder to draw theaters for characters audiences don’t know.
  • He previously called The Authority the toughest Phase 1 title to crack, saying the script had struggled to come together.
  • The Engineer, a core member of the team, already appeared in the recent Superman film, creating a built-in DCU connection.
  • Gunn acknowledged his "Man of Tomorrow" script post would invite Brainiac speculation but declined to confirm any story details.
