James Gunn has no time for moviegoers would take offense to him embracing the political themes in Superman's story for his upcoming film heading to theaters next week.
The David Corenswet-led flick encompasses the DC comic's origins — akin to "the story of America" — and at a basic level, is about a man searching for a better life after leaving his original home (planet), the 58-year-old director and co-head of DC Studios said in a new interview with The Times.
"I mean, Superman is the story of America," Gunn told the publication. "An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country, but for me it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost."
It isn't as if the idea of Clark Kent/Superman being political is a novel concept; the superhero was created by sons of Jewish immigrants, Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel. And any comic book reader worth their salt can understand that the Krypton-born alien's origins mean he's a refugee sent to Earth by parents wanting him to live a better life than he would have on an imploding planet.
And if they see reason to protest that fact, they can take it up with DC Comics, which used the hero's visage to back World Refugee Day in 2018.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
I’ve never known a Superman movie to lose money before.
James Gunn is a knucklehead.
No, Jimmy m’boy.
Screw YOU.
Screw you very much!
The early reviews say it sucks
James didn’t learn anything from what happened to Rachel Zegler.
I saw the trailer and I don’t see how people can watch this silly stuff, and it includes a nasty attitude and politics.
“wanting him to live a better life than he would have on an imploding planet.”
Krypton exploded, and yes, traveling through space in a bassinet would be a drag.
This guy is a scheisskopf.
More or less what I was going to say.
"I don't need your business."
Ok. Woke Cinderella is the bomb of the decade.
Screw me? SCREW YOU!
What a jerk. Great movie, antagonize half of the country the day before the film drops.
“wanting him to live a better life than he would have on an imploding planet.”
Krypton exploded
——
In this movie the story is climate change made Krypton uninhabitable and people had to flee the planet
(Just kidding but I’m sure that’s coming next)
And by the end of the movie, he has successfully transitioned into Superwoman, alter ego Clarabelle Kent.
This dummy has just told the thinking population to avoid seeing the movie. Stupid is as stupid does. ;-)
I might watch it when it’s on TNT this September..
Well, technically he is correct. Kal el was an illegal immigrant
Superman should have gotten consultation from Snow White. Now he’ll suffer the same fate.
Would krypton welcome humans with open arms free stuff and no willingness to integrate?
Asking for a friend.
Because these sh!thole countries they come from would just add soon shoot us if we tried that crap on them.
Nice way to talk to the people you expect to pay money to see your movies. The hubris and self-righteousness of these leftists in Hollywood is something to behold.
