Matthew Vaughn was on the table for Casino Royale but it didn't work out when the film was delayed from 2005 to 2006. He went on to direct the X-Men series, which was '60's Bond in it's own right.
That boat has sailed, especially with this quote: "I sort of want the Brocolli's to regret never hiring me".
Here's more from him:

Personally, would love to see Martin Scorsese get a chance of directing a Bond film. Think it would be amazing.
The Coen Brothers would be an intriguing choice aswell
1. Christopher Nolan (A terrific storyteller with grand visions that he isn't intimidated about realizing)
2. Tom Hooper (He clearly likes breaking new ground. Look at what he's done with Les Misérables)
3. Lukas Moodysson (Very talented Swedish director, has potential to do wonders with a solid script)
4. Simon Curtis (Started in TV and is starting to transition to films. Directed 'My Week with Marilyn')
5. Terence Davies (He's up there in age, but he just has such a great eye. I would love to see a Terence Davies-directed Bond film)
Terence Davies is younger then Martin Campbell, but stil 68 years old next year. But intresting choose there can keep the cinematograhper of Skyfall, take Robert Shafear (QOS) or take his from The Deep Blue Sea. In that case or John Curran as directer Ruth Myers can be intresting as costume designer, she did this DC for Goldencompass and for The Paintedveil (movie directed by John Curran). John Curran wil possible never consider because he is American directer.
1) Quentin Tarantino (just a really talented director who can tell a good story and seems like a Bond fan)
2) Christopher Nolan (this actually has a chance of happening now he's finished Batman and I hope it does. He's a Bond fan and is a very talented director. What's not to like?)
3) Edgar Wright (he could do the funny stuff and can do action. He's really talented but isn't huge, so there's a chance of him getting the job, and maybe Dalton could put a good word in for him)
4) Ricardo Rodriguez (he can do some really good action scenes and he has more variety than almost anybody working in Hollywood. He switches from doing kids film to ultra violent stuff like Machete in a flash and his El Mariachi trilogy is one of, if not the best film trilogy ever imo)
Should have never said never.
Mendes for Bond 25.
New Bond for Bond 26 (maybe Campbell for one last time??)
If Campbell did it, it'd be fantastic. But he only likes to when there's a major change in the cannon. We'll have to see how they plan to bring on a new actor.
I agree. True Grit and No Country For Old Men are amazing films
And they would bring back Roger Deakins... :D
http://www.slashfilm.com/matthew-vaughn-out-as-x-men-days-of-future-past-director/
Could he be our next director?
When I saw that - that was the first thing I thought of..but I hope not! I want Mendes to return!
I like that I like that a lot :D
for those who don't know who yes is I suppose I could accept rush in the place of yes.
Matthew Vaughn has officially left the next the XMen Days of Future Past film for unspecified reasons, the same day it's revealed that Logan will be penning B24.
It looks, to me at least, like he could be a frontrunner for B24 now....
1. Darren Aronofsky
1a. Christopher Nolan
2. Tom Hooper
3. Joe Wright
4. Danny Boyle
5. Matthew Vaughn
6. Ridley Scott
7. Nicholas Winding Refn
8. Brad Bird
9. David Fincher
10. Steven Spielberg
Alfonso Cuarón

Why you can read in this thread that i made earlier
http://www.mi6community.com/index.php?p=/discussion/2537/alfonso-cuaron-david-yates-mike-newell-matthew-vaughn-john-madden/p1
But who i like so see direct only 2 people from this list and that not be Vaughn but John Madden. From Mike Newell i like to see a Bond movie in years. John Madden and also the directer of In Bruges and Vaughn working before with same cinematographer. Also with John Madden Thomas Newman can stay, shame of course be that Dench possible wil not return whyle he working with her on The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel but he can do her M chacter judges mabey. For who don't know John Madden working with Vaughn as writer. That Madden have a connection with Vaughn and Jesper Christensen with The Dept sound very intresting. Matthew Vaughn, Jane Goldman (She wrote the James Bond short about International Woman day) and John Logan i see as possible option as writers whyle Madden direct. I think Logan is a better choose as writer mabey then Peter Straughan.
1) Tom Hooper
2) Joe Wright
Sorry it's a short list but unless Eon change their mind on allowing an American to direct I really don't much care for what's on offer this side of the Pond.
I'm not convinced Mathew Vaughn has got what it takes to helm a big budget movie unless he's involved as producer with total creative control as my bet is he'd end up walking off the project due to creative differences much like Roger Michell did on QoS. As much as I like some of his work I think the guy has got far too big an ego for the Bond producers to entertain him as the next director; besides he's got Mark Millar's Secret Service lined up as his next project.
I'm also not convinced by Edgar Wright who is probably too flashy and stylized with his rapid-fire cuts and his Run Lola Run influences to direct a serious DC continuation piece. Maybe he can adapt, but then my argument would be then why hire someone whose style is part of their DNA in order to change the way they work?
I'll stick with Tom Hooper if Mendes doesn't want it.
