Dean Cain expressed criticism towards James Gunn's depiction of Superman as an immigrant, fearing a 'woke' interpretation of the character. He conveyed his dilemma of wanting to see the film while disapproving of Gunn's comments. Superman's story is viewed by Gunn as reflective of American values and kindness, an idea Cain dismissed as potentially damaging. Despite his critique, Cain's own portrayal in Lois & Clark engaged similar immigrant themes, demonstrating a historical precedent for this interpretation of the character.
Superman is the story of America, 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.
How woke is Hollywood gonna make this character? Superman has always stood for truth, justice, and the American way, and the American way is immigrant friendly.
