After being rejected from the Superman franchise, will Matthew Vaughn make his way into the re-invented DCU of James Gunn

Matthew Vaughn Finally Breaks His Silence on the Rumors Regarding Him Directing ‘The Authority’

Matthew Vaughn is a household name when it comes to the superhero fantasy genre
and comic book adaptations. His contribution to the X-Men and the Kingsman
franchises has written his name in the annals of cinematic greatness. While he
has not stepped into the DCU yet, rumors regarding his directorial debut in the
multiverse have been on the rounds for quite some time. After a lot of
speculation, fans finally have some answers to their questions. 

The Authority is one of the most anticipated movies in the first chapter of
James Gunn’s DCU. Vaughn, who was rumored to be directing the movie, finally
broke his silence about DC’s new direction during a recent podcast. 


MATTHEW VAUGHN OPENED UP ABOUT DIRECTING JAMES GUNN’S THE AUTHORITY

Matthew Vaughn appeared on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, where he shed light
on the persisting rumors about him directing The Authority. He revealed being in
talks with DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran about directing the
movie. However, there has not been any confirmation about the decision. “The
franchise is in the best hands, so let’s see what happens,” added the
52-year-old filmmaker about the new CEOs. 



Vaughn also shared how he is currently “very much enjoying” his own creative
endeavors and finds it difficult to “get hold of ” all the “political madness”
with franchises. Matthew Vaughn then reflected on expressing his interest in
directing the Man of Steel. However, that wish did not manifest at that time.
Nevertheless, Vaughn did manage to work with the “Man” himself in his upcoming
movie, Argylle. A multi-million dollar franchise that he can call his own.

As he is just months away from the release of his probable blockbuster, Matthew
Vaughn revealed his inspiration behind the cinematic approach of Argylle,
starring Henry Cavill [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/]. 


HENRY CAVILL STARRER ARGYLLE DRAWS INSPIRATION FROM THIS $25 BILLION FRANCHISE

Ever since the upcoming spy action comedy dropped its trailer, it has been
causing waves all over the web. Partly because of the association of its
star-studded cast, and the rest owed to the peculiar hairstyle of Henry Cavill.
The trailer also raised a lot of questions about Argylle’s plots, which, despite
seeming interesting, became a bit of a head-scratcher. During his appearance at
last weekend’s New York Comic Con, Vaughn revealed the inspiration behind his
unique approach in Argylle.

In the trailer, fans got to see the character of Bryce Dallas Howard, Elly
Conway, being forcefully taken on a journey by her fictional characters, or who
she thought were fictional. As per Vaughn, this idea goes back to the days of
him being a Potterhead. He always wanted J.K Rowling to follow a
self-referential style in Harry Potter

where she would encounter her own imaginative characters, only to realize they
were real.
