"The Authority" will focus on the titular hero group, who most people have probably never heard of. The original comic book series was created in 1999 by Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch as a team of heroes who get the job done by any means necessary. The team has had different lineups over the years, so it's unclear which specific characters will be in the film. Gunn said the movie is being written now but did not name the screenwriter, nor announce a director or cast.
Gunn told Collider in January about the film, "I've worked a lot on the outline for 'The Authority' myself," but hinted that "Superman: Legacy" was taking most of his energy.
