In an interview with TMZ, Cain expressed concern that the upcoming movie had lost the values he associated with the character, particularly “truth, justice, and the American way.” This is only one of the many versions of the superhero’s slogan, which has not always included “the American way.”

Former Superman Dean Cain believes the hero has always been 'tremendously immigrant friendly,' but worries that James Gunn intends to push the character in too 'woke' of a direction.
