Kick-Ass and Kingsman franchise directo🌄r Matthew Vaughn tried to make a Superman trilogy – but Warner Bros. wasn't having it.

“Mark [Millar] and I sat down and plotted out a three-film trilogy, pitched it to Warner Bros. before Man of Steel … we pitched how to do a trilogy o♔f Superman movies and Warners said they weren’t interested," Vaughn told . "That’s as far as it went."

Vaughn directed Kick-Ass, starring Nicolas Cage and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, in 2010, before directing X-Men: First Class in 2011. He would go on to direct the first installment of the Kingsman series, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Kingsman: The Secret Service, as well as its sequels, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Kingsman: The Golden Circle and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The King's Man. Vaughn is also rep🎃ortedly interested in rebooting Kick-Ass, sans Taylor-Johnson.

Added Vaughn: "Our big idea was that Krypton doesn’t blow up. It does eventually. The dad was right, but he got his timing wrong. When Superman ﷽is grown up, suddenly there's a mass exodus and all hell breaks loose. That was our main idea."

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zack Snyder would end up directing Man of Steel, putting a darker, grittier take on the classic hero. Snyder's tenure in the DCU remains up in the air after 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn and Peter Safran's takeover, with Gunn directing and writing the upcoming 🐼S✤uperman: Legacy. 

Vaughn says that both DC and Gunn have re🍸ached out to 𝕴him, and to "never say never" about his potential involvement in future Superman films. His next film is Argylle, a spy thriller starring former Superman actor Henry Cavill. Cavill reigned as Superman in the DC before Gunn and Safran decided to go in a different direction and cast a new, younger Superman – 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:which he ultimatelꦇy found in David Corenswet.
