Matthew Vaughn Wanted Charlie Cox for His Superman Movie

Before He was Daredevil for the MCU Charlie Cox Was almost Superman for WB & DC Comics. As we recently found out in a interview with Comic legend Mark Millar who goes on to reveal that Matthew Vaughn director of X-Men First Class & Kingsman: The Secret Service was up for a 3 Part superman film deal with WB & DC Comics that would have seen a Bright and optimistic Superman using stories like Red Son for Inspiration.

"Matthew Vaughn and I had talked about doing a Superman film years ago … it was around the time Kick-Ass was coming out, And it's funny, I've seen so many people say, 'Millar's pitch.' I never wrote a pitch. I had an idea of what it could be, but I never really told Matthew what it was, and Matthew never told DC what it was because he didn't know. Vaughn was "very interested" in rebooting Superman and phoned Millar, who told the director he had a "three-picture idea." When Vaughn asked DC about involving Super-fan Millar, whose works included Marvel Comics' Civil War and The Ultimates, Millar recalls, "They said, 'No way, he's Marvel exclusive. It would be so disrespectful to all the DC guys if we went with a Marvel exclusive guy.' And I get it."
