Aintitcool thinks its Rush Hour director Bret Ratner! A small amount of skeptical but curious excitement surrounded Matthew Vaughn (dir. Layer Cake, prod. Snatch) being hired on as the new director for X-Men 3 (Bryan Singer left to be with his Superman). Fast forward to this week, nine weeks from the start of principal photography, and suddenly, X3 has got a major problem (aside from the rumored script problems).

Variety confirms Ratner is the new X3 director.
