Besides theSupermanandSupergirlfilms, one other project that audiences expect an update on is the announcedThe Authorityproject. When a fan asked about the casting of the film, Gunn had a perfect response that Kevin Feige should take note for the MCU.

However, one of the DCU’s initially announced projects,The Authority, has yet to receive a major update, including the cast of the film. One member of The Authority team, Angela Spica aka the Engineer, will appear in Gunn’sSupermanfilm.María Gabriela de Faría was cast in the role, making her the only announced casting inThe Authority.
One fan asked theGuardians of the Galaxydirector about the casting of the rest of the members of The Authority. Gunn replied thatThe Authorityfilm has yet to receive a finished script. The production of the film and the casting will kick off only after the script gets greenlit. Gunn also added that it was the reason why some DCU projects were moving faster than others from their originally announced slate.
Gunn also threw a subtle shade at Kevin Feige’s MCU when he suggested that it was always going to be quality first for the DCU.The Suicide Squaddirector may have been hinting at Marvel Studios scrambling for a director forSpider-Man 4when they couldn’t even agree upon a script for the film with Sony. Gunn shared viaThreads:
“We won’t green light a film until we have a finished script we’re happy with and in general, we won’t cast a film until the script is finished. This is why some projects are moving faster than anticipated and others more slowly. It’s always gonna be quality first no matter what”
Earlier, it was rumored thatArgylledirectorMatthew Vaughnwill helm the film for the DCU. Vaughn reportedlydropped out from directing the next iteration of theJames Bondfilmsto join Gunn’s DCU.
Kevin Feige’sSpider-Man 4Production Is Troubled
Kevin Feigecould use a lesson or two from James Gunn’s DCU, especially when it comes to the ‘quality first’ aspect. While other films in the MCU have their fair share of issues, one of the biggest headaches for the studio currently is their joint venture with Sony,Spider-Man 4. A script for the project is still in development, with both the MCU and SSU entering a tug-of-war regarding the setting of the film.
Jon Watts, the director of the earlier three films, has no part in this drama as he departed from theSpider-Manfilms last year. Other directors are considered for the film, which has no script or start date in place. Drew Goddard and Justin Lin are the frontrunners for directing the film, while some rumors also suggest thatSony is trying to convince Jon Wattsto return for the fourth film.
