Dean Cain blasts new Superman as 'woke' flop in wild tirade over immigration and Hollywood's agenda


One of the actors who once wore the iconic Superman cape has joined the growing chorus of critics slamming the new DC superhero reboot as a painfully woke reimagining.

The latest Superman — starring David Corenswet (pictured) as the Man of Steel and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane — is directed by James Gunn , who kicked off the backlash himself by calling the film an immigration allegory ‘David Corenswet is serviceable as Hollywood's latest Man of Steel,’ wrote critic Kevin Maher, ‘but director James Gunn has turned the ninth big-screen film into an indigestible mush.’ Maher added another jab at the filmmaker, saying: ‘Gunn approaches the nerdosphere's most celebrated property like a giddy amnesiac who has missed the precipitous rise and fall of multi-character Marvel superhero movies and is instead stuck somewhere in the early 2010s.’
