“X-Men” and “Kick-Ass” veteran Matthew Vaughn is being eyed to direct DC Films “Man of Steel 2.” The filmmaker is Warner Bros.’ top choice to direct the next Superman standalone film and has had preliminary conversations, a person with knowledge of the project confirmed to TheWrap after the news was first reported by Collider. Vaughn’s foray into the X-Men series was the stylish “X-Men: First Class.”
There is no deal yet. If Vaughn doesn’t direct “Man of Steel 2,” Warner Bros. wants him to direct another superhero project for DC Films, the person said. »
