Matthew Vaughn said the world needs “a little bit of time off” from superhero movies. The director, known for films like X-Men: First Class and Kick-Ass, was asked in an interview with Screen Rant whether he would consider returning to the superhero genre. Vaughn said he was freaked out by the box office failure of The Flash starring Ezra Miller, which he described as a really good film that was potentially victim to superhero fatigue. “And so it made me question,” Vaughn said. “I think there’s been so many bad superhero movies as well that it’s like when the Western got, you make so many [that] you get bored of the genre, not because the genre is bad, but because the films are bad.” He added: “I genuinely don’t know what’s happening with the superhero in the sense that, I do think, maybe we all need a little bit of time off from it.”
