James Gunn defends Superman's immigrant roots, brushes off MAGA backlash: 'It's about human kindness, not politics'

Director James Gunn has publicly addressed the backlash from some conservative commentators over his portrayal of Superman as an immigrant in the upcoming reboot of the iconic superhero franchise. 'Superman', featuring David Corenswet in the titular role, will arrive in theatres on July 11. In an interview with The Times of London published last Friday, James Gunn reaffirmed Superman's long-established roots as an alien from Krypton and dismissed criticism from right-wing voices who accused the film of pushing a 'woke' agenda. 'Superman is the story of America,' Gunn said. 'An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country. For me it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and something we have lost.' When asked how the film might resonate in today's politically polarised and often anti-immigrant climate, Gunn responded bluntly: '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.' His remarks drew ire from conservative media, most notably Fox News' The Five, where panellists labelled the film as 'woke.' Former Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway criticised the movie for being 'ideological,' saying, 'We don't go to the movie theatre to be lectured to.' Jesse Watters went further, sarcastically claiming Superman's cape might as well bear the logo of the criminal gang MS-13. Greg Gutfeld also targeted Gunn directly, accusing him of hiding behind a 'woke shield.' Despite the criticism, Gunn's comments were met with support from fans and fellow cast members. At the Los Angeles launch of the film on Monday, actor Nathan Fillion—who plays Green Lantern in the reboot—responded with humour to the controversy, saying, 'Somebody needs a hug. It's just a movie, guys. It's just a movie.' Online, fans pointed out that Superman's immigrant origins have always been central to his identity. One viral post read, 'They… uh… they know Superman has always been an immigrant, right? (sic)' Others noted that the outrage misinterprets a fundamental part of the character's ethos: a refugee who assimilates into a new culture and becomes one of its greatest defenders. With the film's release on the horizon, Gunn's interpretation of Superman—as both a symbol of hope and a reflection of immigrant values—has reignited debate over the role of politics and identity in pop culture. Whether divisive or inspiring, Superman seems poised to once again be at the centre of America's cultural conversation.

Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor break silence on intimate scenes in Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan: 'I think that brought us closer...'

Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor are gearing up for the release of Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan this Friday. The two are currently on a promotional spree for the romantic drama. In a recent interview with Filmygyan, the duo opened up on their chemistry in the intimate scenes of the movie. Vikrant Massey highlighted that it happened due to the trust they built over time. He also mentioned that they got to know each other well as people beyond just being co-stars. The 12th Fail actor said, 'We've spoken about this. I think it's the trust factor that was built over a point of time. It strikes me that we are both very alike as people. Besides the acting workshop, or you know, chaahe fir woh blind school ki baat ho ya fir you know the challenges as actors we faced, uske alawa when we got to know each other as people, especially during the scene when we opened up as Vikrant and Shanaya and not just as actors, I think that also brought us closer.' Shanaya, who is set to make her debut with the film, agreed with Vikrant. The actor further added that they both are very much alike and share a similar worldview. "We are very hungry actors, and we want to go out there and give our best. And the only way that can happen is by trusting each other, and there's no other way because you have blindfolds on, I can't see anything, so let's empower each other and bring the best from each other,' he added. For the unversed, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan is directed by Santosh Singh. Vikrant Massey plays a visually-impaired musician while Shanaya Kapoor essays the role of a theatre artist. The trailer of the upcoming romantic drama has hit the right chords with the masses and is expected to fare well. However, its success will depend on its hold against Rajkummar Rao's Maalik and James Gunn's Superman, as the movie is set to face a three-way clash at the box office. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
