Matthew Vaughn (Layer Cake) is de regisseur van de nieuwe X-Men film, en liet in een gesprek met Comingsoon.net het een en ander los over het derde deel in de reeks.

[eng]"It was a mutual finding of each other. I heard Singer wasn't doing it, and I just told my agent that I'd be intrigued and asked 'can you get me in a room?'. They saw the film and really liked it. 'X-Men' has sort of taken me by surprise. One of the reasons I'm attracted to it is also the reason why I'm scared of it, is that it's such a short amount of time to get it done. I thought maybe it would be good to do it because there's a lot for me to learn if I do it.[/eng]

Vaughn liet ook blijken dat het gerucht dat Vinnie Jones wellicht te zien zal zijn als Juggernaut niet uit de lucht gegrepen is.

[eng]"What's interesting about Juggernaut is that he's the brother of Professor X, and that's why I thought it would be interesting having an English thug opposite Patrick Stewart."[/eng]
