June 1, 2019: Matthew Vaughn's Superman Movie Plans

You may recall that rumors circulated around last year that "Kingsman" director Matthew Vaughn was in talks to direct a new Superman movie.

In an interview with Polygon, Vaughn revealed that, while talks have since fallen through, his film would have been the first of a proposed trilogy in which almost the entire film would have been set on Krypton, and focused on Jor-El and the impending explosion of Krypton. Though the alien planet would still have faced destruction, although Kal-El would have grown up on his home planet and gradually become familiar with Earth, maturing into an adult before having to reckon with his loyalty to both planets.

Even though Vaughn is no longer in discussions with Warner Bros., he did say "It'd be hard to say no," if he was offered the opportunity to helm a new Superman film in the future.
