00:00Is the new Superman film about Gaza?

00:06Comments have been circulating widely on social media,

00:09alleging that the new Superman film,

00:11which was released on the 11th of July this year,

00:14is about Israel's war on Gaza,

00:17and that it is pro-Palestinian.

00:19The film has now grossed over 407 million US dollars worldwide

00:24and has been a runaway box office hit.

00:27The story follows the superhero to the fictional US-backed country of Baravia,

00:34which is attempting to occupy neighbouring, impoverished Jharnampur.

00:39Some posts online claim that the imagery in the film

00:42is highly reminiscent of what is happening in Gaza,

00:45referencing scenes such as one where a child holds a flag

00:48in the face of an invasion,

00:50and elements such as a border fence

00:52against a landscape that looks like the Palestinian territory.

00:56The Israeli consulate in Los Angeles also appeared to respond to the film

01:00with two Facebook posts reading

01:02the real superheroes,

01:05alongside images which appear to be that of the Israeli army.

01:08However, production, costume design,

01:11and casting for Superman actually began in April 2023.

01:16Storyboarding happened in May,

01:18and screen tests took place in June.

01:20All of this before Hamas attacked Israel on October the 7th, 2023.

01:26James Gunn, the American director of Superman,

01:29insisted there are no direct references to Israel and Palestine.

01:33Filming did in fact begin on the 29th of February 2024,

01:38which was after October the 7th.

01:41Nevertheless, viewers are sharing ways in which the film has played a part

01:45in changing how they view what is taking place in Gaza.

01:49Whether or not this parallel was intentional,

01:52this film remains open to interpretation.
