The Rumour

Matthew Vaughn has been given the choice between The Flash and Man of Steel 2, with the director currently leaning towards the former.

Response

Vaughn's name has been linked to the DCEU for a little while now: there were reports in March he was top choice for the Superman sequel, and then last month he was named as being in the running for The Flash.

There's definitely something in this, then, since his name has been appearing in various outlets from different sources, so it seems almost nailed-on he'll direct something in the DCEU. Of the two, The Flash does seem more within his wheelhouse, since it's the kind of film that can be a lot more playful, which fits with the director who made Kingsman and Kick-Ass. But really, he'd probably be a good fit for either of them, and the sort of writing/directing talent Warners should be looking at.
