KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE Director Matthew Vaughn Seemingly Confirms MAN OF STEEL 2 Talks
Though he doesn't mention the planned sequel to Zack Snyder's Man of Steel specifically, Kingsman 2 director Matthew Vaughn has confirmed that he has had a conversation about Superman with the studio...
Back in March, a rumor did the rounds which placed Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class, Kingsman) at the top of WB's list to helm the sequel to Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, and the director has now seemingly confirmed that he was indeed in contention.
During a press junket for Kingsman: The Golden Circle, HeyUguys asked Vaughn about the possibility of him taking the reigns of the solo Superman franchise. Although the director's response seems to suggest that he's going to be busy for the next while, he does reaffirm his love for the character and mentions that he has "had chats" about the iconic DC hero.
“I am planning another Kingman, I’ve written the treatment and some of the scenes…I don’t know what I’m going to do next but I have had chats about Superman, I love Superman. “If somebody asks me to do Indiana Jones, most of the superheros or Star Wars the fanboy in me can’t help but be excited.”
Warner Bros. will almost certainly get moving on Man of Steel 2 eventually, but the studio has a lot on its plate at the moment so chances are it'll be another while before we hear anything official. Perhaps by then Vaughn will be available and willing to come aboard.
Tell us, would you like to see Vaughn helm a Man of Steel sequel, or do you think another director would be better suited to the task? Sound off below.
