James Gunn Is Right, The Boys Does Make Releasing 1 DC Universe Movie Way, Way Harder

:0:0

James Gunn has correctly identified a big challenge the DCU"s The Authority movie is facing at the moment. The DCU"s "Gods and Monsters" chapter is progressing at a steady pace, with Creature Commandos launching the franchise with an animated installment that lays the foundations for an expansive, lived-in universe filled with all kinds of characters from all over the DCU"s fictional Earth. Meanwhile, James Gunn"s Superman kicks off the DCU"s live-action format with the introduction of several key characters, including villains like Maria Gabriela de Faría"s the Engineer and heroes like Nathan Fillion"s Guy Gardner.
As anticipation for Superman rises and multiple other DCU projects get greenlit, James Gunn reveals a few updates about the DCU"s current status. Among other news, Gunn has announced a Krypto spinoff series, confirmed that Robert Pattinson won"t play the DCU"s Batman in The Brave and the Bold, and teased a darker tone for Lanterns. A few other projects haven"t received similarly significant updates, but Gunn has confirmed that they"re being worked on. One of these projects is the DCU"s upcoming The Authority movie, which hasn"t set a release date or announced a director.
The Boys Has Had Huge Success As A TV Show Because Of How Big The Superhero Genre Has Grown On-Screen The Authority Will Probably Spark Comparisons To The Boys One Way Or Another

James Gunn didn"t reveal any new information about the DCU"s The Authority during his February announcement, but he stated that both The Authority and Waller are currently on the back burner. Gunn mentioned that The Authority"s similarities to Amazon"s The Boys have presented a challenge, and suggested The Authority won"t be a priority at the moment as a result. Although The Authority"s the Engineer will make her debut in Superman, it might take a long while for the rest of her teammates to assemble on the big screen. Read James Gunn"s full comments:

"I mean, honestly, Authority has been the one that"s been the hardest, both because of the shifting overall story and because of getting it right in a world with The Boys and a world with all the things that The Authority influenced that came out after it, and also having a lot of characters that we"ve fallen in love with that we"ve already filmed and have that we want to continue their story to see them meet each other, and so it been, I will admit it and say it"s a little bit more on the back burner right now."

The Boys has gathered a huge following not only because of its shocking action sequences and the quality of its scripts and performances, but also because of its premise. The Boys deconstructs the superhero genre with R-rated jabs at all the clichés and tropes that franchises like the MCU and the DCEU are known for. Homelander satirizes characters like Superman and Captain America, and Queen Maeve parodies heroes like Wonder Woman and Thor, for example. The Boys also pokes fun at superhero team-ups and internal conflicts among superhero teams.
