The new “Superman” movie is facing a steady wave of criticism from the right after the film’s director called out a political message he hopes viewers will take away from his reboot of the legendary DC Comics character. Star filmmaker James Gunn, who led the “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise and is now trying to recharge the DC brand, angered some conservatives with comments made to British newspaper The Times calling Superman “an immigrant that came from other places and populated the country.”
Asked about viewers who might find a portrayal of the character Superman as an immigrant to be offensive, “Screw them,” Gunn said.
