centers around the tragic death of Princess Diana — Harry and William’s beloved mother.With the first four episodes of the final season released Thursday, the storyline will inevitably lead up to Diana’s horror crash that killed her, and her then-boyfriend Dodi Al-Fayed, in 1997.An insider told the Telegraph that the Duke of Sussex’s pals “may watch it first in order to save him from anything he may not wish to see.”The Post has reached out to Harry’s reps for comment.A newly-released clip from the new season shows the royals missing Diana’s phone call at Balmoral the day before her untimely death.The new season will also focus on the final conservation Diana had with Harry and William, as well as King Charles, the then-Prince of Wales.And while Harry will be watching the final season, the same can’t be said for William.The Prince of Wales will reportedly refrain from tuning in, after he previously expressed frustration with Season 4 of the Golden Globe-nominated hit, specifically with the depiction of Diana’s BBC Panorama interview.In January, Harry admitted to watching “The Crown” and said he even makes sure to “fact-check” the show about the royal family.Appearing on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” Meghan Markle’s husband discussed the controversial drama series when asked if he’s “binged” anything on TV lately.After teasing he has, Colbert asked if “The Crown” was one of the shows, saying he “had to have watched some” of it since it’s based on Harry’s late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.“Yes, I have watched some of ‘The Crown,’” he revealed, before Colbert asked if he’s watched any of the recent episodes.“The older stuff and the more recent stuff,” Harry clarified.The exiled royal was then asked if he did any

Taylor Swift fans are convinced she is behind the identity of a mysterious author named Elly Conway, whose debut novel has been adapted into Matthew Vaughn’s upcoming spy movie Argylle.The spy action comedy film, starring Henry Cavill and Dua Lipa, is based on an as-of-yet unreleased book by Conway, a first-time novelist. The book was originally scheduled to be released in September, but has since been pushed back to April next year.As noted by The Hollywood Reporter last month, the author’s identity has proven elusive.

As Matthew Vaughn makes the press rounds to promote his upcoming movie “Argylle,” in theaters next February, he’s talked about all sorts of topics, from his burgeoning spy cinematic universe at MARV to time working on the “X-Men” series. So how does Vaughn weigh in on the apparent superhero movie fatigue that’s permeating moviegoing recently? In a new interview with ScreenRant, the director stated that “maybe we all need a little bit of time off from” superhero films, at least until somebody makes one that gets audiences truly excited again.

X-Men: First Class and Kick-Ass, was asked in an interview with Screen Rant whether he would consider returning to the superhero genre.In response, Vaughn explained that 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.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director “Kingsman” director Matthew Vaughn knows a thing or two about bringing comic books to life on the big screen as the filmmaker behind acclaimed outings such as “Kick-Ass” and “X-Men: First Class.” In a recent interview with ScreenRant, the director shared his thoughts on the current era of comic book movies. He said poor visual effects are negatively impacting superhero movies, while also sharing his belief that Marvel needs to take a “less is more” approach. “I genuinely don’t know what’s happening with the superhero [genre] in the sense that, I do think, maybe we all need a little bit of time off from it,” Vaughn said.

Matthew Vaughn is no stranger to the superhero genre being the director of Kick-Ass and X-Men: First Class and has a suggestion for Marvel Studios and DC as “superhero fatigue” continues to be a topic of conversation.

Matthew Vaughn had a long conversation with “Happy Sad Confused” this week about his new film “Argylle” and just about everything else he’s done in his career. That includes Vaughn’s aspirations for an MCU-like spy cinematic universe at MARV that combines “Argylle,” the “Kingsman” franchise, and a third franchise he has in the works.

After “Justice League” floundered in production in 2016 and Zack Snyder left the film (and the DCEU), his Snyderverse fell apart. Everyone knows Joss Whedon took over “Justice League” after Snyder left, but as for who would chart the DCEU’s course into the future, there were dozens of rumors over the years of who could have taken over.

Director Matthew Vaughn would love the chance to shake things up in two film franchises that fans hold sacred.

Well, filmmaker Matthew Vaughn just gave up the game-his endgame, really-in a new interview with “Happy Sad Confused” (yes, the gift that keeps on giving this week). The gist of his master plan? It’s ambitious and essentially doing for spies, with his company MARV, what Marvel has done for superheroes: an interconnected universe of espionage franchise, yes, all of his own.

Filmmaker Matthew Vaughn (“Kick-Ass”), thus far, has essentially made an entire career out of making spy films, ones arguably much more irreverent than the James Bond movies—a series he seemingly was desperate to be a part of at one point. But then Vaughn came up with the “Kingsman” franchise in 2014 with the first installment, “Kingsman: The Secret Service,” and then basically never looked back.

Halle Berry was reportedly misled about the scope of her role within 2006′s X-Men: The Last Stand, according to director Matthew Vaughn.

Matthew Vaughn is opening up about one of the reasons he had for quitting directing X-Men: The Last Stand. The director revealed during New York Comic Con he left the film after finding out a scheme to get Halle Berry to sign on to reprise her role of Storm by tricking her with a fake script.
