Matthew Vaughn NOT directing X-Men: Days of Future Past; Bryan Singer wanted.

Deadline reports that X-MEN: FIRST CLASS director Matthew Vaughn has decided to not direct the sequel, X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. Instead, Vaughn will work on Mark Millar’s comic book adaption, “Secret Service” for 20th Century Fox. Vaughn will remain as producer.

At the top of Fox’s director replacement list is “X-Men” and “X2” director, Bryan Singer, who also produced “First Class.” No word on other directors in the running.

The studio has the film set for a July 18, 2014 release.

Déjà vu.
