Matthew Vaughn knows action. He knows spies. And he knows making big popcorn entertainment. Just look at his credits, LAYER CAKE, X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, KICK-ASS, KINGSMAN, and now ARGYLLE starring Henry Cavill. In this rare extended chat, Matthew talks about his entire career, his love of Superman and Star Wars, and that time he was the director of a James Bond film for 24 hours. #happysadconfused #joshhorowitz #matthewvaughn #argylle

Thanks for watching! Make sure to subscribe to the channel so you don’t miss any of my chats!
Favorite XMen film? First class has some great stuff in it. But DOFP, X2 and Logan are easily better
the luthor fan cast i didn’t know i needed
Argylle and Kingsman crossover okay I'm already fucking sold.
Got some great gems out of Matt. The Storm/Halle Berry story is disappointing. Maybe Deadpool 3 can film the Storm cut. Don't make me start a hash tag #FilmTheStormCut
Matthew Vaughn is a very underrated (action) director and I'm a huge fan of the Kings Man franchise!
Need him to do The Authority
This is gold! X-men: First Class, The Kingsman 1, The Kings Man are brilliant. I can see why Josh said, folks will make headlines out of this fascinating convo. Can't wait for Argyle!!
I can see why Matthew doesn't do a lot of interviews. He's very prickly.
i love his work ❤
Last Kingsman movie was superb. MV would smash Bond.
Like Vaughn, but Bond is not Star Wars. We don't need Star Wars rehash of original characters. That's been done to death. Do new stuff.
This man just had the worst take of Star Wars I've ever seen
He has some really stupid ideas
this was a solid interview Matthew more open that most directors
James Bond whatever I'd love to see Vaughn direct a Doctor Who episode or showrun a season.
If Matt reeves can make a batman trilogy, Matthew should make his epic Superman trilogy 🙌🏻
Do not let this man anywhere near Star Wars.
Fucking reboot? Christ…
INSIDER HERE:
The commerce has always taken over the creative with Vaughn and MARV. MARV and Vaughn bend limited companies around and has clever accountants. A rude, arrogant person. Clever to employ talented people and ditch them to whoever else can bring in another idea.
Never even came up with the fight sequences in Argyle himself. Should really give his crew credit.
Never mentions anyone. No names.
Stay away from Star Wars. Hasn't the last decade been enough of a red flag to not mess with something so loved.
That was great! At last someone who not only answers Josh’s difficult questions about studios, but doesn’t give a f*** and is honest. I always thought he was a bit arrogant, but I really like Matthew after seeing this.
What a fantastic interview! Josh doing his usual best. 👍🏽
Thanks Josh 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏼 Lovely interview. I appreciate how you seem to make
the people you are interviewing seem so
at ease. Looking forward to seeing Argyle.💐
If Vaughn ever gets Star Wars you can be sure his mate Jason Flemyng won't get a look-in after last time. 😂
I love the idea of a new Superman trilogy. The Star Wars pitch? Well it's hard to imagine it being worse received than what we've got recently. Looking forward to Argyll.
One of my favorite directors. You can tell he is just a big movie fan
Awesome channel btw. Amazing guests and i love how you keep it professional but still get peoples honest reactions and behind the scenes
Hey, how about creating new stuff?
Star wars' dead.
Stop defiling its corpse.
One of the best living directors who needs to be trusted more tbh.
Wondering what Matthew thinks of the stunt casting of Dua Lipa as Wonder Woman. Shallow on its surface and easy to assume as “bad” or dumb; but the more it’s considered the more interesting it seems. Taking her fame out of it. Doing a brutal and subversionist take without being condescending or overtly political in anyway.
A real character piece in the vein of the more recent God of War games tonally.
Son, just dont.
Bro we could've got daniel kaluuya in kingsman fuckkkkkkkkkkk, taron was amazing tho. Would've made boyegas career too
Stay the hell away from Star Wars!
Look like he know nothing about star wars 😵💫
Not giving him BOND is the worst decision ever!!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤡🤡🤡🌍🌍🌍
No thanks.
I hope 🤞 not this actor Henry cavill he is just the best to make photoshop with his fake 🥸 legendary jobless Natalie viscuso to manipulate and betrayed the people. And I know Superman is a hero but Henry cavill he is just a cheater ,full of manipulation and lies!
