    Warren Ellis admittedly tends to write characters british-sounding sometimes regardless of where they're actually supposed to be from within the context of his story, it's just a little bit of himself bleeding through. That's probably why at points Jack had the Billy Butcher thing going on.

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

    Love most of your suggestions here, the only change I'd suggest though is Jenny Sparks should be played by Florence Pugh. She's PERFECT for the role - looks the part, definitely got the acting AND action chops, and if you've ever seen her on Hot Ones you'll know she's got the right blend of "feminine but could also outdrink the boys" energy.

    Im totally down for this cast if these are in fact confirmed as the cast of The Authority. Although I would be lying if I didn't say I would prefer actors who are actually gay or LGBTQ to play Midnighter and Apollo, but regardless Sam Worthington (who was my fan-casting for Metallo) and Alexander Skarsgard be pretty solid pics to play those characters.

      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.

And there is a sort of council of Doctors that the prime doctor speaks with on the astral plane. Anyway, lots of Doctors to choose from, but regardless of the actor they choose I hope they go with the prime one. The character has a lot to say, especially in context with the rest of the crew. :)

    Having no attachment to The Authority (most of what I know about them come from previous Nando vids, particularly the casting ones), I can't say I'm unhappy with any of the choices, but nothing that wows me quite yet (this has sadly been the theme for Gunn's DCU casting). That said, just because I'm not blown away by the picks when they're announced, it doesn't mean they won't end up doing a fantastic job - I'm certainly willing to wait and see, keeping an open mind as best I can.

    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.
    PS: I don't recall you mentioning if you've ever watched Gotham, but Cameron Monaghan is really good in that show.

    The funny thing is, it sounds like The Authority is basically Zack Snyder's wet dream and forté. He should've made this movie instead of forcing his edge lord vision on DC's Trinity lmao. And honestly, based on Watchmen being pretty decent... I think I may actually LIKE the movie if he directed it. I'm not a big fan of Snyder... but I really do think it would be like a perfect pairing lol.
    Although, imagine if he was like, "Oh gay Batman & Superman? Great. 😈" and then ruined Midnighter and Apollo by making them caricatures or whatever lol. It could also go really poorly, maybe. Idk. He doesn't necessarily seem like the type to hate LGBT+ or ruin them intentionally... but he also doesn't necessarily seem like the type who might bring in a special consultant or something to ensure he did that relationship justice. I honestly think it may be kinda 50/50 with him if he did it well or ruined it. But honestly, if both characters survive the movie (which they probably would), it may not be beyond salvaging later lol. Idk.

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

    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...

    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.

    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.
