Part 3/8:
Just days before the film's official release, Gunn publicly reaffirmed what many might have guessed: that Superman is a politically charged story, touching on immigration and American societal values. In a profile with the Times of London, Gunn described Superman as "an immigrant that comes from other places," framing the character's origin as reflective of the broader American immigrant experience.
He further explained that the film is about "the decline of basic human kindness," suggesting these themes are at the core of his storytelling. Gunn unapologetically declared, "Screw them" to critics who might be offended by the political undertones, emphasizing that he stands firm in his artistic choices.
