James Gunn knocks on Kingsman director’s door to direct film from new DC Studios

Although 2023 has been an absolute nightmare for DC Studios, James Gunn is more than ready to propel the franchise to the top of the industry. The American filmmaker is gradually looking for directors to shape his new universe, and this time he has stopped at one who knows how to make good action films: Matthew Vaughn .

In charge of franchise adaptation King and director of the first Kick-Ass film and The Authority .

« DC contacted me and Gunn and Peter talked. Never say never, at the moment I’m enjoying creating my own things. The franchise is in better hands, so let’s see what happens. »

This isn’t the first time Vaughn has considered entering DC Studios to create a film set in that universe. In the same podcast, the British director said he had planned a trilogy of Superman before the arrival of Zack Snyder and his Man of Steel.

As expected, Warner decided to decline the offer and opted for the version of Clark Kent that we all know. Thinking about his arrival in the megaproject directed by Gunn would not be an exaggeration, since he would have the opportunity to redeem a desire that he has had for many years and with the freedom that the filmmaker has granted to all his directors.
