Lately, James Gunn has been increasingly active on social media platforms to share important information about the DCU’s latest projects, including The Authority movie.
Last year, there was reportedly development on The Authority, and Gunn revealed that the project meant a lot to him.
While there hasn’t been much new information about the movie, María Gabriela de Faría is reportedly officially cast as The Authority member Angela Spica/The Engineer.
1. Gunn Explains Casting
However, before appearing in her solo movie, Angela Spica will first appear in Superman: Legacy. Gunn recently explained why there have been no additional casting announcements for The Authority movie.
“We won’t greenlight the movie until we have a finished script and we are happy with it, and generally we won’t cast for a movie until the script is finished. That’s why some projects move faster than anticipated and others slower. Quality will always come first, no matter what,” Gunn explained. So, before we can watch The Authority DCU movie, we will first see Superman: Legacy.
While there are still several other movies in development, some of them already have more detailed information.
2. Overview of The Authority
The Authority is a group of superheroes that first appeared in the comic Wildstorm, which was later acquired by DC Comics. Warren Ellis, a writer, took over the series and made significant changes to the story in the Wildstorm universe.
The Authority works independently, not beholden to political, legal, or ethical interests. They do everything necessary to accomplish their tasks or achieve their goals.
Basically, they have good intentions, but they feel that the world is extremely corrupt and the only way to fix it is to take matters into their own hands. Be it through assassination, overthrowing the government, or changing the political system. We will see how their journey unfolds.
