\nJames Gunn\u2019s upcoming \u201cSuperman: Legacy\u201d film serves as the kick-off feature for a new, larger, interconnected DC Universe (DCU) and it appears Gunn isn\u2019t wasting any time in making those connections.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

According to\u00a0Heat Vision<\/a>, characters from \u201cThe Authority\u201d will debut alongside the Man of Steel in the new film. The superhero comic series, created by Warren Ellis, follows a team of morally gray superheroes who get the job done by any means necessary.<\/p>\n

A film based on \u201cThe Authority\u201d was announced alongside \u2018Legacy\u2019 as part of the slate of five films that make up the \u2018Chapter One: Gods and Monsters\u2019 phase of the new DCU. The other three are James Mangold\u2019s \u201cSwamp Thing,\u201d Batman-led \u201cThe Brave and the Bold\u201d likely to be helmed by Andy Muschietti, and the \u201cSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrow\u201d film.<\/p>\n

Previously Gunn said \u201cThe Authority\u201d film was a passion project of his, he and other DC Studios writers had already worked on an outline of the story and that this \u201cbig movie\u201d would have connections to Superman.<\/p>\n

This would also fit in with comments Gunn said back in January, explaining how they would use top-tier characters like Batman, Superman, etc. to help introduce characters people are less familiar with.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

According to the report, the members of the superhero group will be cast after the creative team cast their Superman and Lois Lane. The same goes for other supporting Superman characters like Lex Luthor and Jimmy Olsen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
