Dean Cain criticizes James Gunn’s socket on Superman as “immigrant” and thinks that he could hurt the box office

Dean Cainwho played Superman in the classic series of the 90s Lois & Clark: Superman’s new adventuresis weighing James Gunn’S SupermanAnd let’s just say that he is not enthusiastic about how political things are becoming.

In a recent interview with TMZ, Cain shared concerns about Gunn who refers to Superman as an immigrant, a statement made by Gunn while describing the film as “The Story of America”. According to Cain, that framework could alienate the public. Cain said:

“How will Hollywood wake up make this character? How much Disney will change their snow? Why will these characters change [to] Are there for the times?

“For Superman, it was” truth, justice and American way “. Well, they let him fall … they invented” truth, justice and a better tomorrow “. Changing loved characters I don’t think it’s a great idea.

Cain said that immigration supports but that boundaries are needed. He used the traditional Superman slogan to frame his point:

“Superman has always represented” Truth, Justice and the American Way “and” American Way “is friendly immigrant, tremendously friendly immigrant. But there are rules. Y

“You can’t come and say:” I want to get rid of all the rules in America, because I want it to be more similar to Somalia. “Well, it doesn’t work, because you had to leave Somalia to come here … There must be limits, because we cannot have all in the United States.

Gunn’s observations have triggered a repercussions between some conservative circles. Fox News has nicknamed the film “Superwoke”, with the Jesse Watters host who jokes, “Do you know what he says about his cloak? Ms-13”. The former Trump councilor Kellyanne Conway also interrupted, saying:

“We don’t go to the cinema to be kept to keep lessons and to have someone who throws the ideology.”

Cain believes that Gunn’s comment can have unintentional consequences.

“I think Superman brings us … I think it was a James Gunn mistake to say that it is an immigrant thing, and I think he will hurt the numbers of the film.

“I was enthusiastic about the film. I am excited to see what it is … I’m cheering to be a success, but I don’t like the last political comment.”

As for Gunn, it does not seem too agitated. The director responded to the recourse with a shrug:

“I have nothing to say to anyone who spreads the negativity around Superman. I think this is a film about kindness and I think it is something that everyone can relate to.”

Sean Gunn, who appears in the film like Maxwell Lord, was more direct:

“My reaction a [the backlash] It is that it is exactly what the film speaks of. We support our people, you know? We love our immigrants. Yes, Superman is an immigrant and yes, the people we support in this country are immigrants and if you don’t like it, you are not American. People who say no to immigrants are against the American way. “

It remains to be seen if the controversy will have an impact on the box office of the film, but I seriously doubt that it will do so. People love the movie!

Also, I just want to emphasize that the entire immigrant Superman The thing is not new. Not only did the comics touch us, Smallville Even an entire episode dedicated to it, in which Superman was helping Southwives and even referred to himself as an immigrant, and I don’t remember that everyone becomes all strange. Now it’s just the political climate.
