Im totally down for this cast if these are in fact confirmed as the cast of The Authority.

Lee Pace not being Apollo is a crime worthy of international prosecution. The dude sooooo deserves it and we deserve it too.

@@kerrykrish1291 1) you don't know what I am or anything about me 2) characters making out doesn't make "their sexual preference their only defining characteristic". It is a PART of who they are, not their entirety (just like when hetero characters sexuality is part of a story). 3) Midnighter and Apollo are explictly in a sexual relationship; it's a huge part of both characters and it always has been. Why is representation automatically framed by you as needing to be "at the cost of a good movie and compelling story"? If that happens, it's just bad writing, but it's not going to be bad writing simply because their sexuality is visible. Cut the bullshit. We see heterosexual characters being sexual all the time without anybody spouting this kind of crap, especially when they are couples. Just be honest, you're squeamish. Get over it.

I might be biased because I loved your fancast but I'm not a big fan of those picks, especially for Midnighter and Apollo. I would guess James Gunn is probably heavily involved in the casting of these projects, so I think this is fake - he has to be aware of the public's want for queer actors playing queer characters, and it's not like they're lacking in terms of choice. This list feels like a random bunch of actors instead of deliberate picks. That being said, I would love to see Keke Palmer and Riz Ahmed in one of these.

But really the role should go to an actor from the LGBT side of things though to be honest.

[@geminihexx9858]

Hi gay person here, I really want straight people to stop telling us gay people need to play gay roles, because that’s not always the best choice and I’d rather be an actor who’s best for the character. This kind of thinking could also be used to say gay actors can’t play straight roles and that’s not right either. As long as the actor isn’t homophobic and commits to portraying a realistic gay character that’s all that matters to me and I think Alexander Skarsgard will be great.

Being honest, after going through this roster, this seems like a horrible idea as one of DC's new direction franchises. They have no big character name recognition and through the lens that the US finds itself, currently, I can see accusations of a team made up of 'diverse & politically correct' characters. If this movie succeeds, it will be purely on star/name recognition alone, w/ such a dense roster, I doubt there'll be any chance of a 'good' story for these characters to be introduced to. I collected comics starting w/ 2000 AD in the early 70's all the way 'til the constant cross over story lines did me in, in the 90's, (which seems to be where Marvel was headed w/ it's obscene output on Disney+, too much mundane, too little 'must see'), so I've seen comic books at their utmost variety. To me this IP seems ripe for overdone attempts at appeasing/appealing to every segment of the population, I can't believe it'll be anything but bland...

Good take. I had never heard of any of these characters. But I can already tell that if Gunn makes a movie based on these characters, it will be very controversial. Some will say the movie is too woke. Others will say it's not woke enough.

Why does it matter if the actors playing Apollo or Midnighter are gay or not? Actors pretend to be people they are not for a living. Should they also be looking for actual superhumans to portray superheroes too? Both Luke Evans and Lee Pace are fantastic choices for Midnighter and Apollo not because they're gay but because they're good actors. Casting should always prioritize talent and suitability for the role, regardless of an actor's sexual orientation.

Sam Worthington is such a bad actor it kills some of my excitement. I think he’s a black hole of charisma.

[@nalday2534]

Charisma is when actors makes constant quips while tilting their eyebrows 24/7

[@schizofredericcompositions]

His performance in Australian stuff (like Transfusion) is better than alot of your favourite actors could ever hope to achieve lol, but yes he has been dull in a few Hollywood movies over the years, but I'd take him over vanilla plain white bread dullard Timothee Chalamet any day of the week lol

The entire idea should be scrapped. At least until the group they are patterned after and should fight the JLA, is established. They should be a reaction to the JLA. Because outside of diehard comic book fans, no one even knows who they are. This bloated, overstuffed Superman film has failure written all over it.

Yeah pessimistic crap Remember X-men they came before avengers Also gotg

@@abps9947 The X-Men and the Avengers are generally on the same side. Yes, they did a run where they fought but neither was created as an homage or an alternate take on the other. Which is what the Authority is to the JLA.

@@abps9947 you have no idea who the Authority is do you. They are from a DC published imprint that literally has every member of the JLA in an alternate form and rather then protect and defend these so called heroes take the to the plan to rule the world. It’s essentially every evil JLA ever.

We don't think anything, because nobody outside of a few ultra-obsessed geeks cares about yet another D-tier superhero team. Give people a Batman movie, a Superman movie, maybe a Green Lantern movie, and let the universe slowly build.

Yeah but nobody cared about the guardians or peacemaker and now they are household names
