Director James Gunn has confirmed what many suspected: the upcoming Superman reboot will be packed with politics, and its core message will center on “immigration” and “human kindness.”
In an interview with The Sunday Times, Gunn called the iconic hero “an immigrant that came from other places” and described Superman as a “story of America.”
“It is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value — and is something we have lost,” Gunn claimed.

The film, set to release July 11, stars David Corenswet as Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. It’s a reboot of 2013’s Man of Steel and meant to launch an all-new DC Universe.
Gunn says the movie will explore themes that “play differently” in red and blue America — from rural Kansas to liberal Metropolis.
“Yes, It’s About Politics”
“Yes, it’s about politics,” Gunn admitted.
He said some people will be offended simply because the movie promotes “kindness.”
