Actor in New Woke ‘Superman’ Movie Says if You Don’t Like Pro-Immigrant Message ‘You’re Not an American’ (VIDEO)
The people behind the new ‘Superman’ movie seem determined to turn it into the new Snow White.
Rather than just embracing the iconic and ultra-American character, they have embraced a woke, pro-immigrant political message and when asked about it, they continue doubling down.
Director James Gunn recently remarked on this, via the IMDB:
James Gunn Says ‘Superman’ Is About an ‘Immigrant That Came From Other Places’ and How We’ve ‘Lost’ the Value of ‘Basic Human Kindness’: ‘Yes, It’s About Politics’
James Gunn is opening up about what “Superman” is really about.
In his Sunday profile with The Times of London, the DC Studios head went deep on the themes and ideas that drive his highly anticipated “Superman.” He explained that the superhero epic encompasses “the story of America,” and at a basic level, is about a man searching for a better life away from his original home.
“I mean, ‘Superman’ is the story of America,” Gunn explained. “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.”
Sean Gunn, the director’s brother, who is also an actor in the film, was asked about this at the Hollywood opening and after confirming this messaging, said that if you don’t embrace this point of view, you’re not an American. Watch:

According to Breitbart News, the early reviews are not good:
Review Calls James Gunn’s Woke ‘Superman’ ‘Terrible,’ ‘Superficial,’ ‘Overstuffed’
The producers of James Gunn’s latest theatrical version of Superman asked reviewers not to release their thoughts on the film until Tuesday, but several outlets ignored the demand and posted their reviews early. And some don’t bode well for the film.
Popular website The Daily Beast, for instance released a damning piece entitled, The Terrible New ‘Superman’ Movie Is the Final Nail in the Grave for the Superhero Genre, before pulling it down not long after it went live.
The Beast’s review, by writer Nick Schager, tears the film to pieces, calling it “superficial,” “overstuffed,” and even “silly.”
Either way, people are getting the message from the filmmakers, loud and clear.
James Gunn telling me that illegals are more important to him than me seeing his move was very nice of him. Saved me a $100 that I can use for other things.
Thank You. https://t.co/a4YCKNaX2H

Will they be surprised if this movie bombs? They certainly shouldn’t be.
