Dean Cain Warns Leftist Themes In New Superman Movie Could Tank Box Office | Eastern NC Now

    Actor Dean Cain, who played the role of Superman in the 1990s TV series "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman," is weighing in on how woke the new movie, set to hit theaters on Friday, might be.

    "How woke is Hollywood going to make this character? How much is Disney going to change their Snow White? Why are they going to change these characters [to] exist for the times?" the 58-year-old actor wondered while speaking with TMZ.

    "We know Superman is an immigrant - he's a freaking alien ... The 'American Way' is immigrant-friendly, tremendously immigrant-friendly. But there are rules," Cain continued.

    "You can't come in saying: 'I want to get rid of all the rules in America, because I want it to be more like Somalia.' Well, that doesn't work, because you had to leave Somalia to come here ... There have to be limits, because we can't have everybody in the United States. We can't have everybody, society will fail. So there have to be limits."

    Cain further noted the difference between legal and illegal immigration. "It's being portrayed as a real negative thing that we want people to follow our immigration laws," the actor observed. "Which is insane to me ... Here's an agency, ICE ... they're supposed to enforce those laws. Why are they being villainized for enforcing the laws that our lawmakers, our elected representatives created?"


    "I think it's gonna hurt the numbers on the movie," the former Superman actor added, saying he had been excited to see the film before director James Gunn acknowledged that the film was meant to be "political."

    "I mean, 'Superman' is the story of America," Gunn said in an interview with The Times of London published on Friday. "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's about human kindness and obviously there will be jerks out there who are just not kind and will take it as offensive just because it is about kindness. But screw them," Gunn continued.

    "Yes, it's about politics," he added. "But on another level it's about morality. Do you never kill no matter what - which is what Superman believes - or do you have some balance, as Lois [Lane] believes? It's really about their relationship and the way different opinions on basic moral beliefs can tear two people apart."

    Gunn further responded to the backlash at the movie's premiere on Monday, issuing a blanket statement on how the film was simply about "kindness."

    "I think this movie's for everybody. I don't have anything to say to anybody. Like, I'm not here to judge people," he said on the red carpet. "I think this is a movie about kindness and I think that's something everyone can relate to."

    Gunn's brother, Sean, who plays billionaire Maxwell Lord in the film, also chimed in.


    "It is exactly what the movie is about. We support our people, you know? We love our immigrants. Yes, Superman is an immigrant, and yes, the people that we support in this country are immigrants and if you don't like that, you're not American. People who say no to immigrants are against the American Way."

Now that President Trump is picking his cabinet and immediate staff to insulate him from the poor judgement of the Bureaucratic Class, while moving quickly to transition this Constitutional Republic unto a wise and sustainable direction: What is your immediate impression as to how our nation will prosper?

  We are headed toward a Golden Age in America's self-governed society.

  This will all wind up in a clustered mess since Trump is a Fascist, and thought to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler by our best journalists.

  This is a time where critical days lay ahead, where only wise and responsible decisions must be made to sustain US.

  I generally do not pay attention, but expect only the best to occur ... and that is what I always expect.
