Several projects are underway in the new DCU. Authority is one of them. However, the film was quietly put on hold.
On Threads, a social media platform the franchise co-head used frequently, he provided fans with updates about the film.
“The script wasn’t perfect, but more importantly, it didn’t work within the context of the larger DCU, both in terms of story and practical concerns. Maybe someday. Not soon.”
Although the authorization, which was part of the slate, was announced for January 2023, it was not abolished completely but postponed for now.
Additionally, this statement was a sharp departure from when Gunn announced the film, saying, “This isn’t just a story of heroes and villains, and not every movie and TV show will be about good guys versus bad guys.”
“There are people who are very suspicious, like authorities, who basically believe that you can’t fix the world in an easy way, and they take things into their own hands,” he said at the time.
Meanwhile, work continues on Superman’s follow-up story, Man of Tomorrow.
