James Gunn responds to criticism over ‘immigrant' Superman: ‘It's about kindness'
James Gunn has responded to the backlash against his 'Superman is an immigrant' remark by saying his forthcoming movie is about 'kindness'. The DC Studios co-CEO said earlier this week that Superman was '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,' he told The Sunday Times. Reacting to the director's remark, Fox News anchor Kellyanne Conway said on The Five: 'We don't go to the movie theater to be lectured to and to have somebody throw their ideology onto us. I wonder if it will be successful.' Kellyanne on Superman: We don't go to the movie theater to be lectured to—Watters: You know what it says on his cape? MS13 — Acyn (@Acyn) July 7, 2025 Online reactions to Gunn's comment mocked his position, with some commentators claiming they wouldn't watch the film because it was too 'woke'. 'How to lose $200m in 30 words or less,' wrote one person on X. Another said: 'So in other words, he just took the source material and made it woke. Sounds about right.' Responding to the criticism, Gunn said Superman was for 'everyone'. 'I'm not here to judge people,' he told Variety at the Superman premiere in Los Angeles on Monday. 'I think this is a movie about kindness and I think that's something everyone can relate to.' Gunn's iteration of the iconic DC superhero features David Corenswet as the titular Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as the villainous Lex Luther. The cast also includes Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, and Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer. 'My reaction is that it is exactly what the movie is about,' Sean Gunn, who plays Maxwell Lord, said about the backlash. '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 are not American. People who say no to immigrants are against the American way.' Fan reactions to Gunn's comments about Superman have been generally supportive, however, with many bringing up earlier adaptations of the superhero and how he's always been political. 'The worst people you know are upset about this because they completely missed the point of Superman, despite how being an immigrant is such a fundamental part of his character,' said one fan on X. 'The concept of being shocked by superman, who had always been an alien immigrant, being portrayed as an alien immigrant,' said another. If James Gunn's recent comments upset you, you're not only one of the most pathetic snowflakes alive today but you're also clearly not a fan of the character. Superman has literally always been an immigrant allegory — Mischief (@MischiefsYT) July 7, 2025 superman taking his illegal immigrant cousin shopping to help her assimilate to earth: — JOLLY J✨ (@DynamoSuperX) June 10, 2025 superman is literally an undocumented immigrant with a bisexual son — Minty (@MintOracle) April 8, 2025 Anyone upset with @JamesGunn for "ruining #Superman" hasn't paid attention. An immigrant story about basic human kindness IS the story. Always has been. Supes IS about "the American way" ... the one that originated with "bring me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses." — Jonathan Decker, LMFT (@FamilyExpert15) July 8, 2025 Another fan said: 'Anyone upset with James Gunn for 'ruining Superman' hasn't paid attention. An immigrant story about basic human kindness IS the story. Always has been. Supes IS about 'the American way'... the one that originated with 'bring me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.'' Earlier this week, Gunn had responded to an apparent attempt by Zack Snyder fans to sabotage his new Superman movie with a targeted online campaign. Although trailers for the film have prompted mostly positive reactions, there is a growing backlash from fans of Justice League director Snyder and the previous DC universe, otherwise known as the DC Extended Universe. Snyder directed three films within the universe, beginning with the 2013 Superman project Man of Steel, starring Henry Cavill. Disgruntled Snyder fans have since taken to the 'Snyder Cut' subreddit to demand that others 'stand up and fight' on the day Superman is released by sharing spoilers, posting negative reviews and reserving cinema tickets in bulk. 'Lol I think we'll survive,' Gunn responded on social media. Superman releases in cinemas on 11 July.

Welcome to Glenn Martens's Maison Margiela — ‘It's Going to Be Quite Loud'
Beyond attitude, figuring out the scope and function of the codes that will shape his clothes for Maison Margiela has been a creatively complex equation for Martens to formulate. The first and most fundamental part of it relates to the work of Martin Margiela himself. Because as Martens puts it: 'The reason behind the success of houses is their founding values and their codes, so that is what you need to respect as a new creative director. What's really beautiful is to then possess them and bring them into the world in a new way.' Part of the specific challenge with Maison Margiela, he continues, is just how influential the founder's thinking became across all fashion. 'I myself am one of those children of the Margiela generation. And I think Martin is more than a designer, he is a school that has changed a lot of people's thinking… The Japanese were a bit before, but I think in Europe it was Martin who made this change, this thought that garments don't have to follow a classic structure. It was trying to find a different way of looking at beauty, of looking at construction and looking at fashion at large. And this has been a design ethos for so many designers since, some of them more directly and some of them less so. I have always been someone, I think quite clearly, who has always followed that way of thinking.' Which leads to questions of originality, ownership, and identity. Martens laughs again as he recounts the sometimes creatively confronting nature of his deep dive into the Margielian world. 'When I arrived here I asked my stylist to bring out all of Martin's archive pieces. Because I had always only ever seen them in books. And finally seeing the real items, I was so disappointed in myself. I was like: 'My God, I just copied everything before when I was at Y/Project!'' 'I love this house for its founding DNA, but definitely a lot of that DNA has been fully plundered; literally plundered, this is the best word for it. Reclaiming some of these elements, trying to reclaim them with elegance, and finding my own way to work through them is what I want to do.' If Martens's own 13-year output at that Parisian indie label was unconsciously saturated by Margiela's influence, there are some who have taken a far more premeditated approach to incorporating his new house's creative canon. He says: 'Margiela has been a source to so many designers and brands, some more literally than others. I love this house for its founding DNA, but definitely a lot of that DNA has been fully plundered: literally plundered, this is the best word for it… Reclaiming some of these elements, and trying to reclaim them with elegance, and finding my own way to work through them is what I want to do.' Another factor for Martens to calculate is the enormous contribution to the house from John Galliano, who served as the creative director from October 2014 to December 11, 2024. Martens says: 'I love everything he has done here… John is a genius in couture. He created his own fantastic world, and the product was very much linked to it. I could never be John: only one reason for that is because I am not such a good storyteller.' Galliano arrived at Margiela three years after the end of his 13-year stint at Christian Dior, where he had created some of the most opulent and narratively expressive couture shows fashion has ever seen. His unique articulation of that apex house of mainstream French luxury was duly refracted through his work at Maison Margiela. This, Martens implies, offers him a distinct route forward as he plots his path ahead. He says: 'I think in the days of Martin this world was much more niche. The luxury was more about the exclusivity of it through an independent way of thinking. Now it is also about the craftsmanship and the tailoring: John brought that in and we need to continue building it, because it is part of the development of this house.'

Richard Simmons' bedazzled tanks sent to auction
Richard Simmons' personal items are set to hit the auction rooms. Bonhams Auction House in Los Angeles has revealed it's auctioning off more than 200 of the late TV fitness instructor's items, including bedazzled tank tops, branded VHS tapes and other memorabilia from his workout empire, TMZ reports. The collection celebrates Simmons' four-decade legacy. Among the star items hitting the block are his signature Sweatin' to the Oldies ensemble, worn during a 2012 Slimmons class; a bedazzled Hummingbird tank top worn at the 2013 MTV VMAs; a custom Pom Pom Ball tank from a 2011 appearance; and more than 100 other glittering tank tops and shorts, each estimated to fetch between $200 and $300 (£150 to £220). Fans can also bid on nostalgic Simmons-branded merchandise, including a portrait of Simmons and his dalmatians by Frank Cummings, estimated at up to $1200 (£880), and the original 'Slimmons' studio sign from his Beverly Hills gym, estimated at up to $700 (£510). The auction runs from 12-24 July, coinciding with what would have been his birthday, and marking a year since he died in 2024. Simmons passed away at the age of 76 on 13 July last year, at his Hollywood Hills home. His death was attributed to complications from falls and heart disease. According to multiple news sources, he was found unresponsive after falling the day before and not wanting to seek medical attention.
