Kingsman and X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn explains what he had planned for the Superman movie trilogy he pitched to Warner Bros. before Man of Steel.
Matthew Vaughn has carved out a career crafting his own signature action-drama genre films, like Kingsman: The Secret Service, Kick-Ass, Layer Cake, and Stardust. However, Vaughn did take a brief detour into the blockbuster superhero movie genre in the 2010s; he bounced around several projects before ultimately stepping in to make the prequel/reboot X-Men: First Class for Fox.
As Vaughn continued to explain the situation, he clarified that his Superman Trilogy with Mark Millar was conceived"before Man of Steel... So we pitched how to do a trilogy of Superman movies and they, Warners, said they weren't interested and that's as far as it went... never came back around." "Our big idea was a twist that Krypton doesn't blow up. It does eventually... the dad was right, he just got his timing wrong. So when Superman's grown up, suddenly there's a mass exodus then all hell breaks loose. And that was our idea."
Vaughn's Superman Trilogy sounds like it would right up there with Tim Burton's Superman Lives and Zack Snyder's Man of Steel in splitting fans over divergences from the usual canon and characterization. But that was in Wild West heyday of the DCEU – what about now?
