Overview
- Gunn, who responded to fans Monday on Threads, said The Authority is paused and "maybe someday, not soon" because the script was not ready and the concept did not fit the larger DCU.
- He clarified he never planned to write or direct the project, pushing back on long-running online assumptions.
- He said Booster Gold remains in development and Paradise Lost is in "extreme development," as DC pivots around Superman titles with Man of Tomorrow now filming and Supergirl set for June 26 release.
- Gunn reiterated his policy that DC will not greenlight or cast projects until scripts are fully developed and ready to shoot.
- The Authority was part of the 2023 slate and had even seeded a team member, the Engineer, in 2025’s Superman, yet Gunn had since floated a TV approach, underscoring a strategy to prioritize core heroes before riskier, lesser-known teams.
