“Kick-Ass” director Matthew Vaughn has confirmed via an interview with HeyUGuys.com that he has indeed had talks with Warner Bros. about taking on a new Superman film.
“I don’t know what I’m going to do next, but I have had chats about Superman. I love Superman.”

This is great news that needs to be a reality. Things that scares me are 1) he declines after talks break down, and 2) if Kingsman 2 fails, WB won’t hire him. Why? In Hollywood, you are only as good until your next disaster.
FINALLY we get some cool Superman news!!! I just hope there’s a ‘kick-ass’ script to go along with this awesome new director. I like Snyder, and hope Justice League rocks! But I’d like to see another director’s take on Man Of Steel 2…
He didn’t necessarily say MoS 2 tho
Matthew makes good movies, they made a great choice using him
“He didn’t necessarily say MoS 2 tho”
While I can’t say that it would bother me if they did a clean break from the Snyderverse part of me would also still like to see Henry Cavill get a go at it without the garbage fire.
WB got gold between their hands. They better not lose their grasp. Please make it happen. The guy knows his stuff.
Confirming “talk” isn’t anything. Times flying. By the time they get all this down on paper, it’s going to be the end of next year. And your right it may be 2020 IF were lucky. But would I want to see the next Superman in the light of Gardians of the Galaxy? Hell NO! That would be pure torture. As long as Henry is in the role, I wouldn’t want to see him pull some about face and become a “different” Superman. But quite frankly this news isn’t anything to get excited about.
I’m not hearing anything about a confirmation that this is happening in this video. I hear a maybe, but nothing about a definite yes. For all we know this might not happen.
He never said he wanted to make it like Guardians. He said that they shouldn’t treat it like the dark knight. Superman is about color and fun. And that sound bite was pre-guardians anyways.
And just to add on to what you said, I hope we get a WELL WRITTEN Superman movie. I don’t care if it takes years as long as they put out a quality product. I don’t need a reboot and I would love to see Cavill continue because I still feel he hasn’t reached his potential as the character.
Can’t disagree with what your saying. I thought the same way regarding the direction they’re going. Either the WB/DC has something up their sleeves or Superman will get shelved for who knows how long. As much as I am still in disbelief over the hoop-la over Wonderwomen, if that’s where the money is, well I guess going there is to be expected. Who knows how the next Batman will fly. The WB’s a big company and are involved in many other unrelated projects. They could simply pull the plug on these superhero movies and not look back. Or care!!
“Where is Superman?”
“Oh, he’s doing his Neo thing again.”
