One of the stars of the first two “Superman” movies, Jack O’Halloran, told FOX13 Tampa Bay on Tuesday that he thinks the legendary superhero should be used “back the American lifestyle” as he prepared to see the new one.
O’Halloran claimed that the man of Steel was used properly, one could help back “the Allamerican way.”
“Having the tribe in the Allamerican way and bringing the American lifestyle, and that is what is needed to hap,” he said. “If they use Superman correctly, they can achieve it.”

As noted by the delimitation of comics, O’Halloran’s patriotic vision of Superman’s role in America may be in contrast to the recent remark from James Gunn, the director of the new “Superman” movie, and his brother, Sean Gunn.
Sean Gunn, who plays Maxwell Lord in the 2025 -superhero movie, defended his brother on Monday after the director took warm to insist that his film was political and that Superman is an immigrant in an interview with The Times.
“Superman is the story of America,” James Gunn told Britain. “An immigrant who CAM from elsewhere and populated the country, but for me it is mostly a story that says that basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost.”
He added, “Obviously there will be jerking out there who just aren’t kind and will take it as offensive just because it’s about kindness. But screw them.”

While he was on the red carpet, James Gunn’s brother Sean defended the director of “Maga” people-as the variety described those who were critical of his recent statements about immigrant. Neith interviewer, nor Gunn, distinguish between legal or illegal immigrants.
“My reaction to [the backlash] Is that exactly what the movie is about, “Gunn said.” We support our people, you know? We love our immigrants. Yes, Superman is an immigrant, and yes, the people we support in this country are immigrants and if you don’t like it you’re not American. “

Sean Gunn added that “People who say no to immigrants are against the American way.”
Similarly, MIT-Professor Junot Diaz said in a Guest Say for The New York Times that Superman’s “overwhelming Allamerican power” was disturbing and explained the paradoxical identities associated with the iconic character as an immigrant.

“In fact, I was some of the neighborhood anti-Superman,” Diaz wrote in his attempt, reflecting on his childhood.
“From day 1, dude just rubbed me the wrong way. There were the observed things like how fake Superman was like a hero, ridiculously dated his star-spangled patriotism Var-Supe’s loved a country I had never seen. My deposition America was more supervillain territory.
