Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT As the MCU finally gears up to introduce the X-Men, 4 years after Disney bought Fox, the original director of X-Men: The Last Stand has revealed the shocking reason he quit almost 20 years ago.
Speaking at New York Comic Con, where Screen Rant's team are in attendance, Vaughn confirmed there was more to the story than has ever been revealed.
"One of the main reasons I quit X-Men 3, and this is a true story. Hollywood is really political and odd. I went to an executive’s office and I saw an X3 script. It was a lot fatter. I asked, “what is this draft?” They were like, “don’t worry about it.” So I grabbed it, and opened the first page, and it said, “Africa. Kids dying from no water, and Storm creates a thunderstorm to save all these children.” I thought it was a pretty cool idea.
Ultimately, Vaughn reacted so strongly to the deception of Halle Berry that he quit and made Stardust, which he adapted from Neil Gaiman's fantasy novel with Jane Goldman. Vaughn also revealed he was given the clichéd "you'll never work in this town again" speech on his way out.
