Before Bryan Singer was chosen to direct X-Men: Days of Future Past, all eyes were X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn. When Matthew Vaughn dropped out, fans were disappointed in him of abandoning a great franchise, but he has a good reason...or two.
"The thing that was exciting about it was bringing all these actors together," he told Empire. "What a cast! "But I've worked with great actors and I just thought, 'I've got to do my own thing'." "The script was great for X-Men, but I had Secret Service in my head," said Vaughn. "And this has always been Bryan [Singer]'s machine. It's come full circle."
Kind of Vaughn to pass the torch back to Bryan Singer. Stay tuned for more.
