Ass director wanted to work with the Man of Steel actor again after working on
Argylle [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/argylle/] together. And that too,
with the Brit returning to his most famed DC role!

In 2020, the same mini-series comic was adapted into an animated film by Sam
Liu. It seems the Argylle director has been left so impressed by the 40-year-old
actor that he is convinced that another rendition with Cavill as Superman makes
sense, despite James Gunn’s dismissal of him from the superhero part. 

Here is what Vaughn had to say about his idea of having Henry Cavill return to
his old role in Superman: Red Sun.


MATTHEW VAUGHN PARALLELS HIS LOVE FOR THE COMIC WITH APPRECIATION FOR CAVILL

During an interview with Post Cred Pod, Vaughn spoke about some of his favorite
comics. Among them, he revealed that the one he found to be “the cleverest” was
Superman: Red Son. The three-issue series was printed in a prestige format by DC
Comics in 2003. He then went on to ponder “remaking Red Son with Henry
Cavill”. According to him, it would make for “an interesting movie”.

Considering that he has sung praises of Cavill’s portrayal of Superman in the
past
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-ahead-of-argylle-matthew-vaughn-opens-up-about-henry-cavills-journey-to-becoming-superman/]
as well, his wish to recast him is not surprising. Well, his fascination with
DC’s alien savior has been long known; especially with the superhero’s nemesis,
who takes a central role in Red Sun.

Earlier, the Kingsman franchise director had also revealed who he would choose
to play the antagonist against Cavill’s Superman.


BESIDES HENRY CAVILL AS SUPERMAN, VAUGHN ALSO WANTS THIS ACTOR

In the Red Sun comics, a villain almost managed to destroy Superman after being
recruited to do so. This was the legendary evil scientist, Lex Luthor. While
Speaking to Josh Horowitz during a Happy Sad Confused episode, Vaughn remarked
that Taron Egerton would make for an “amazing Luthor”. So, it seems that the
director has a main cast in mind already.



Previously, Vaughn had worked with Egerton on several projects, including the
Kingsman trilogy and Rocketman. Considering his recent comments about wanting to
team up with Cavill so soon after Argylle, it appears that he is loyal to the
actors he works with, especially those who leave an impression.
