"I think he's brilliant," Ratner said when asked about what he thinks of Kick-Ass director Matthew Vaughn. "I thought his last movie was fantastic. I'm a fan."
"I would have loved to see 'The Last Stand' directed by him," Ratner added.
"I think this one is probably even more right for him because it's the younger X-Men, the beginning, and he's great, obviously, with kids," the much loathed director went on to say. "He has an incredible visual style and he's a great filmmaker. I think every 'X-Men' should be directed by a different director, just like 'Alien.' Why does it have to be one filmmaker?"
And in what will surely be great news to many X-Men fans he went on to rule out a return to the franchise in future: "When I say I'm not going to do another 'X-Men,' it's because they're doing all these spin-offs."
"It doesn't make sense for me to do 'Wolverine' if I did 'X-Men.' It's just a different scope. For me, it would just be going backwards."
JoshW: Well, as many of you will know by now I'm not a fan of Singer's X-Men movies but Ratner managed to take an already poor franchise and make it worse in my opinion. It had some decent action sequences and many of the problems were admittedly down to a bad script but I think that Ratner's comment about him wanting Vaughn to have directed X-Men 3 is one that we can all agree with! :)
