Matthew Vaughn has plenty of takes on the Hollywood industry. From shading the Supergirl casting process to stating what Marvel needs to do, Vaughn seems pretty vocal about the state of superheroes.
That doesn’t mean he’s against it, as the BroBible asked the Argylle director about adapting his own dream DC project, which happens to the iconic Superman: Red Son story.
The outlet asked: “I know that they said they’re going to do Elseworlds-type stuff — I didn’t even have this written down — are you a Red Son guy? Is that the approach you’d try to take?”
The filmmaker notes, “I thought Red Son was one of the cleverest comics I’d ever read, and the current world we’re living in, it’s certainly become a lot more relevant because ignorance causes more issues, and I think the more we learn about Russia and the Russian history.
“Wow, could you imagine remaking Red Son with Henry Cavill? That would be an interesting movie…” Vaughn adds.

We are seeing what Matthew Vaughn has to offer as a filmmaker with Argylle, which made $18 million during its box office debut this past weekend. Read our review here.
Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World franchise) is Elly Conway, the reclusive author of a series of best-selling espionage novels, whose idea of bliss is a night at home with her computer and her cat, Alfie. But when the plots of Elly’s fictional books—which center on secret agent Argylle and his mission to unravel a global spy syndicate—begin to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organization, quiet evenings at home become a thing of the past.
Argylle’s ensemble cast includes Bryce Dallas-Howard (Jurassic World), Henry Cavill (The Witcher), Sam Rockwell (Vice), Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Dua Lipa (Barbie), John Cena (Peacemaker), Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek), Samuel L. Jackson (The Hitman’s Bodyguard), Ariana DeBose (The Prom) and Rob Delaney (Deadpool 2).
Argylle is out in cinemas now.
