Director James Gunn has stated his 2025 Superman film is not related to the Middle East conflict, clarifying, "When I wrote this, the Middle Eastern conflict wasn't happening," and noting the film is fictional

The fact that he refers to an internationally-recognized genocide as a "conflict" should tell you all you need to know. Plus Warner Bros, who produced the movie, are pretty major Zionazi symps.

Doesn't mean the movie can't be used to channel and catalyze revolutionary sentiment, but where are you getting that it was "written in direct call-out of both democrats and republicans enabling and supporting the genocide"? Because the director explicitly says otherwise and the production company are known sympathizers with the genocidal state.

and noting the film is fictional

I dispute both of these claims.

When I wrote this, the Middle Eastern conflict wasn't happening,"

So, he wrote it long before any of us were born?

Lol @ the suggestion that it wasn't happening yet
