I'm going to throw this in extremely doubtful.

Vaughn's known to create issues on set. X-Men First Class did well, but it was severely off schedule / over budget and went through multiple on-set producers, ADs, and DPs. He butted heads w/ Fox to the point that he couldn't handle the schedule of X2 w/ its deadline.

Kathleen Kennedy is a ballbuster on that stuff. Guessing whoever is directing Star Wars has known about this deal for months, not days/weeks.

NOOOOOOOOOOO! Please for the love of the series not this hack, please. I'd rather have Bay than have Vaughn.

Aside from the fact that Vaughn isn't a remotely interesting director and is basically a slightly more palatable version of Brett Ratner, great choice.

if disney knew what was good for them they would hold an election for fans to vote on the next director. which is absurd I know… I guess this is just a lose-lose all around. I for one will completely ignore any star wars movie directed by matthew vaughn, the same way I ignore any other movie directed by him

We're screwed. He was by far the least interesting filmmaker on that rumored shortlist. Ugh.

"First Class" is a solid superhero flick, but "Kick Ass" is one of my least favorite movies. Really putrid.

X-Men: First Class. Yes.
he was also rushed on a production that turned into an outstanding film.

When did we start pretending that this guy is talented and good? I've always thought of him as on par with guys like Marc Forster. Sure, their movies look good, and sure, they sometimes get solid reviews, but, honestly, where they ever really good?

don't worry if he ends up being the director cause he'll just back out at the last moment.

I'm pretty concerned for all of these people who are totally disregarding Vaughn as a competent director. If I remember correctly, Layer Cake is what got Daniel Craig cast as Bond and definitely had some originality to it. As for saying Michael Bay would be a better choice over Vaughn, are you fucking kidding? X-Men First Class was leaps and bounds better than all of Bay's films combined. Vaughn is definitely an inspired choice, versus unmemorable fanboy directors, such as Guillermo Del Toro or Peter Jackson. Did we forget the incredibly lackluster Hell Boy movies or The Lovely Bones?

How about Zemeckis, can handle big budgets and may have just recently got on studios' good graces with 'Flight' this past weekend. He has more of a style and taste than Vaughn but can also stretch to fill any genre. Now who wants to rip this apart??

Edgar Wright and/or Steven Moffat for the script, please. Duncan Jones for director.
Make it so.

I'm not sure why this is the first rumor to qualify as 'real.' I think Vaughn would be a decent choice and that his style is fairly close to the heart of Star Wars. Despite this, Brad Bird is both a superior choice and more likely, considering Disney's whole '1952' thing.

god no, everyone but this fucking guy. kick ass was absolutely terrible, and so was first class, he shoots like the third best guy at film school.

NOPE. In my mind Duncan Jones only.

X Men First Class is an ok film but not a great film and I have never seen Kick-Ass. My three picks to direct are Brad Bird, Joe Johnston or JJ Abrams My real favorite would be Spielberg but I dont see that hapening….

And to any one who says Spielberg has not directed a good film in years, they have obviously not seen TIN TIN and WAR HORSE they are great films. And two films he has produced recently are Supper 8 and Cowboys And Aliens they are both real good fun action films. I will also point out that IMHO Indiana Jones 4 was a great popcorn flick right up there with temple of doom and last crusade and I think that it's box office gross of $ 317, 575, 550 proves that most of America agrees with me about Indiana Jones 4 was a great fun popcorn flick right up there with the last 2 indy films that came before it…..
