Director James Gunn is revealing the political themes of his new “Superman” movie and oh boy…
During an interview with The Sunday Times, Gunn promoted the upcoming flick by predicting there will be some pushback by “jerks” who just don’t like kindness. He said this when asked about whether he expects the film’s political undertones to resonate differently around the country.
“Yes, it plays differently. 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,” he said.
Gunn also pointed out that the movie isn’t all about preachy morality and political messaging.
“Yes, it’s about politics. 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 believes? It’s really about their relationship and how differing moral perspectives can pull two people apart,” the director explained.
The movie is expected to hit theaters on July 11 and features actor David Corenswet and actress Rachel Brosnahan as Superman and Lois Lane.
X users weighed in on the impending lecture:
@JamesGunn, Lifelong superman fan here. Was going to see your movie.
But not now. You can’t talk to people like that and preach about morality. You are objectively in the wrong and you don’t need anyone’s money.

Gets people somewhat excited with Superman, decides to nuke it with a woke statement a week before the release. People were already iffy because you replaced Caville and you decided to turn people off even more. I was going to see it, not anymore.
