X-Men: First Class and Kick-Ass director Matthew Vaughn has put his name in the hat to helm the new Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow movie.
The previous DC Extended Universe officially ended late last year with the release of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom - a universe that included movies like Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, The Justice League and The Suicide Squad.
After a shake-up at Warner Bros., James Gunn was appointed as the creative director for a new DC Universe that will include new actors playing a variety of heroes such as Superman and Batman.
Milly Alcock was recently announced to play Supergirl in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, but the announcement came without a confirmed director in place, which is rather strange, according to Vaughn.
“ I’m a huge fan of Milly Alcock. Huge fan. Met with her for this other project we’re working on — she turned me down, which was sad. She’s a fabulous actress," he told BroBible.

"Then again, I do find it very weird that they haven’t got a director. That surprised me, because you shouldn’t cast a movie — the director should be casting the movie. I don’t understand who cast it if there isn’t a director. No (I’m not pleading the fifth). I was asked about doing The Flash way back, but I said I’d only do it if I could recast — if I’m directing my own superhero film, I want my own, new superhero."
Fortunately for Vaughn, he would have suggested Alcock for the role anyway, which means he is still up for stepping in as director.
"But, Milly Alcock, I probably would have put forward for it if I was directing," he continued. "So I haven’t considered it. Never say never. I’m a big fan of James Gunn and Peter Safran, so yeah, I would consider it.”
