Total Film News: Matthew Vaughn leaves X-Men: Days Of Future Past

Total Film News Total Film movie news, for the latest in film news.

Matthew Vaughn leaves X-Men: Days Of Future Past Oct 26th 2012, 08:42 Seismic superhero news this morning, as Matthew Vaughn has reportedly dropped out of directing X-Men: Days Of Future Past, the sequel to his well-received series reboot, X-Men: First Class. At present, no reason has been given for Vaughn’s departure, although he will still remain involved with the project as producer. The move mirrors his involvement on Kick-Ass 2, another sequel he declined to direct. With the film pencilled in for a 2014 release date, Fox is expected to move fast to find a replacement for Vaughn, and according to Deadline, the man at the top of their list is none other than Bryan Singer. Singer was of course the director of the first two X-Men films and also worked as a producer and writer on First Class, so his appointment would be the obvious choice. It was a big disappointment when he left the franchise in favour of Superman Returns, and we’d like to see him return to a universe he already knows inside out. Expect further news on a replacement in the coming weeks, with filming set to commence early in the new year. X-Men: Days Of Future Past opens in the UK on 18 July 2014.
