Dean Cain could not remain silent in the face of this "coming out". Guest of the American morning show
Fox & Friends
, the 55-year-old actor, who played the man of steel on television for
Lois & Clark
, is not convinced that
"a bisexual Superman is particularly revolutionary ”
and in no way subscribes to the late decision taken by the creators.
“They say it's bold. I say that they are taking the bandwagon "
, he declares, before illustrating:
" Robin
[the sidekick of Batman, editor's note]
recently came out as a bi. Honestly, who is really shocked by this news? ”.
The root of the problem is elsewhere according to Cain, who protests.
“Why don't they do it and fight for the right of women to go to school and to have the ability to work and live? What about boys not to be raped by men under the New Gentile Taliban? That would be courageous ”
. The character of Superman Jr. is hailed for dealing with climate change and the deportation of refugees from Metropolis, birthplace of Superman.
“There is real evil in this world today, real corruption and a government that goes too far. It would be great to tackle these issues. I would like to see the character do it, ”
concludes Dean Cain.
The comic book
Superman: Son ol Kal-El # 5
, which will follow the adventures of Jonathan Kent in a new light, will be released on November 9.
