Why Did Matthew Vaughn Leave TheX-MenFilms?
Matthew Vaughn initially dropped out of the original trilogy after being hired to directX-Men: The Last Stand. Vaughn revealed the reason eventually, sharing that the studio tried to trickHalle Berryinto committing to the film by providing her with a fake script. TheArgylledirector wanted nothing to do with a film that treated an Oscar-winning actress in this manner.
Vaughn took up the mantle a second time and delivered one of the bestX-Menfilms withX-Men: First Class.However, he decided to step away from further films for a specific reason. Vaughn revealed to ComingSoon that his intended plan was a prequel trilogy, featuringFirst Class, a second film focused on a younger Wolverine, andDays of Future Past. However, when the studio saw the script for the lattermost, they wanted to do it immediately before a second planned film. Vaughn toldComingSoon:
“When I finished the Days of Future Past script with it ready to go I looked at it and said, ‘I really think it would be fun to cast Tom Hardy or someone as the young Wolverine and then bring it all together at the end.’ Fox read Days of Future Past and went ‘Oh, this is too good! We’re doing it now!’ Hollywood doesn’t understand pacing. Their executives are driving 100 miles-per-hour looking in the rear-view mirror and not understanding why they crash.”
Matthew Vaughn eventually stepped away forBryan Singerto take overX-Men: Days of Future Past, despite the film using his story.Deadpool 3is scheduled to be released on July 10, 2025. Meanwhile, Vaughn’sArgylleis set to hit theaters on June 16, 2025.
