While Justice League is a little over two months away, director Matthew Vaughn, who is about to launch Kingsman: The Golden Circle in theaters Friday, opened up in a recent interview with Collider. Vaughn teased his vision of a Superman movie:
“Weirdly if I did do Superman—and I made the mistake of telling someone yesterday I have spoken about it and then wallop (laughs)—I think my main take would be, it’s really boring but make a Superman film. I just don’t feel a proper Superman—I think Donner did it to perfection for that time. Just doing the modern—I wanna do a modern version of the Donner [version]. Go back to the source material… For me Superman is color, feel-good, heroic. He’s a beacon of light in darkness. And that’s what I think Superman should be.”
While that may not be a description that’s likely to start a wave of fan campaigning and petitioning for Vaughn to get the job, fans who are done with the violent and somber Superman of the current DC Extended Universe run would be more than happy with that choice.
