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.”

Dean Cain is wary about Hollywood making Superman 'woke' after James Gunn called the Man of Steel an "immigrant," igniting MAGA outrage.

Cain says the "American way" the character stands for is "tremendously immigrant friendly," but cautions, "there have to be limits."
