New York Comic-Con was pretty lowkey this year. Actors like Chris Evans, Ewan McGregor, David Tennant, and some of the cast members of Guardians of the Galaxy 3<\/em> showed up, but were respectful of SAG-AFTRA rules to not promote their projects. Evans did a panel basically just talking about life. I would have loved to have seen that panel. I haven\u2019t been to NYCC since 2008. We tried to get tickets this year, but it was already sold out. Next year!<\/p>\n

Director Matthew Vaughn also did a panel on Saturday, where he spoke about his upcoming spy thriller Argylle<\/em> and shared some news about future projects, including a Kick-Ass<\/em> reboot, Kingsman 3<\/em>, and an unnamed musical. But perhaps the biggest bit of gossip to come out of Vaughn\u2019s panel was an anecdote he shared about why he left the X-Men<\/em> franchise. According to Vaughn, execs wanted to send Halle Berry a fake script to trick her into signing on for the third X-Men<\/em> movie.<\/p>\n

\n

Director Matthew Vaughn claimed on Saturday that he decided to leave the 2006 blockbuster \u201cX-Men: The Last Stand\u201d after learning that several Fox executives were planning on giving Halle Berry a fake script. Speaking at New York Comic Con, Vaughn, 52, alleged that he walked into an executive\u2019s office and noticed that the script that was being sent to the \u201cCatwoman\u201d actress was considerably different from the one he had, according to The Hollywood Reporter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went into one of the executive\u2019s office and I saw an X3 script, and I immediately knew it was a lot fatter. I was like, \u2018What the hell is this draft?’\u201d the \u201cKingsmen\u201d director told the audience. \u201cHe went, \u2018Don\u2019t worry about it,\u2019 and I\u2019m like, \u2018No, no. I\u2019m the director. I\u2019m worrying about this draft.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wouldn\u2019t tell me, so I grabbed it literally \u2014 it was like a crazy moment \u2014 opened the first page, and it said, \u2018Africa. Storm. Kids dying of no water. She creates a thunderstorm and saves all these children,’\u201d continued Vaughn.<\/p>\n

Even though Vaughn admitted it was a \u201cpretty cool idea,\u201d he was still furious that the film executives would try to allegedly dupe Berry, 57, with a fake script.<\/p>\n

\u201c[I went,] \u2018What is this?\u2019 [They said,] \u2018Oh, it\u2019s Halle Berry\u2019s script.\u2019 I went, \u2018OK, because she hasn\u2019t signed up yet.\u2019 \u2018But this is what she wants it to be, and once she signs up, we\u2019ll throw it in the bin,\u2019\u201d Vaughn recalled the executives allegedly saying.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was like, \u2018Wow, you\u2019re gonna do that to an Oscar-winning actress who plays Storm? I\u2019m outta here.\u2019 So I quit at that point.\u201d<\/p>\n

Berry eventually agreed to join the film \u2014 with the original script \u2014 alongside Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Famke Janssen, Ian McKellen, Kelsey Grammer, Elliot Page and James Marsden. Vaughn was replaced by \u201cRush Hour\u201d director Brett Ratner.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This story shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise to anyone but that is supremely f\u2013ed up. I\u2019m sure this is not the only example of something like this happening in Hollywood, particularly to a woman, and especially to a Black woman. It didn\u2019t matter that she\u2019s an Academy Award winner or a huge box office draw. It didn\u2019t even matter that this was the third movie in the franchise, so presumably, they already had a relationship with Halle and her team. I\u2019m angry just hearing this story 17 years later. It\u2019s just so messed up. I would love it if more people came out and blew up execs spots like this. Maybe we can start a hashtag. Oh, and honestly, Vaughn dodged a bullet by walking away from X3<\/em>. It was not that good.<\/p>\n
