White House shares altered 'Superman' movie poster with Trump as the superhero

The White House is seemingly joining in on the hype of the new "Superman" movie by posting an altered version of the film's poster featuring none other than President Donald Trump.

The White House shared the poster in an X post around 9 p.m. on July 10, showing what appears to be Trump wearing Superman's iconic red, blue and yellow suit. The words written on the poster include "A Trump Presidency," "Truth," "Justice" and "The American Way."

The caption on the White House's post reads: "THE SYMBOL OF HOPE. TRUTH. JUSTICE. THE AMERICAN WAY. SUPERMAN TRUMP."

The actual movie poster that Trump's office altered features Superman, played by David Corenswet, looking up in the air as he flies toward the sky with the words "Look Up."

DC Studios' "Superman" hit U.S. theaters on Friday, July 11.

'Superman' director calls superhero 'an immigrant,' causing mixed reaction

James Gunn, the director of "Superman," sparked controversy after an interview with The Times of London, during which he called the superhero's fictional life "the story of America."

"I mean, 'Superman' is the story of America," Gunn said during the interview. “An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country, but for me it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost."

Dean Cain, who played Superman from 1993 to 1997 in the TV series “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman," spoke out against Gunn's comments, telling TMZ: "How woke is Hollywood going to make this character? How much is Disney going to change their Snow White? Why are they going to change these characters that exist for 'the times.'"

Fox News contributor and former Trump aide, Kellyanne Conway, also commented, saying, “We don’t go to the movie theater to be lectured to and to have somebody throw their ideology onto us,” Conway said, per Variety.

In response to the backlash, Gunn told Variety that "Superman" is for "everyone" and that he doesn't have "anything to say to anybody" spreading negativity around the film.

Sean Gunn, who plays Maxwell Lord in the film, stood up for his brother's comments.

“My reaction to (the backlash) is that it is exactly what the movie is about,” he said, per Variety. “We support our people, you know? We love our immigrants. Yes, Superman is an immigrant, and yes, the people that we support in this country are immigrants and if you don’t like that, you’re not American. People who say no to immigrants are against the American way.”
