Dean Cain expresses discontent with James Gunn's portrayal of Superman as an immigrant. He believes this perspective misrepresents the character and could harm the film's reception. Cain emphasizes that Superman historically symbolizes 'truth, justice, and the American way,' which he insists should reflect traditional American values rather than contemporary ideologies. He argues that excessive immigration undermines these values, suggesting that limits are essential to maintaining societal stability. Cain's frustrations point towards a broader concern of modern interpretations altering beloved legacy characters.
"I think that was a mistake by James Gunn to say it's an immigrant thing, and I think it's going to hurt the numbers on the movie. I was excited for the film. I am excited to see what it is... I'm rooting for it to be a success, but I don't like that last political comment."
"To Cain, Superman has always stood for 'truth, justice, and the American way,' but only the American way of decades past-not the modern one, which he suggests is compromised by too much immigration."
