The Flash star Grant Gustin takes part in the ongoing Superman film debate about the DC Universe hero having an immigrant story. More details are emerging every day about James Gunn’s Superman movie, since the film is less than a week away from opening in theaters.

One of the new takeaways from Gunn’s interviews about the DCU film is how the Superman movie story tackles the hero’s status as an immigrant, given that he’s an alien from another planet. This has sparked a lot of conversation about whether this theme is relevant to the Man of Steel, as DC Studios gets ready to bring him back to the big screen.

While fans are debating about Superman’s immigrant story, one actor who is seemingly agreeing that this is crucial for the DCU character is Gustin. The Flash actor, who starred in the Arrowverse for a decade, shared the following stories on his Instagram, indicating his thoughts on the matter:

Outside of sharing other outlets’ stories on Gunn’s comments, Gustin also shared J. Gonzo’s Superman-related image, which reads, “I cannot wait to watch an illegal alien absolutely ruin the plans of a billionaire.” The billionaire is referring to Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor, who is the main villain of Superman.

What Grant Gustin’s Superman Instagram Stories Post Means

It’s crucial to remember the fact that Gustin’s stories are reposts of other accounts’ posts, as he didn’t attach any captions to his account related to the storyline about the DCU’s Superman. However, based on the fact that he shared them at all, it likely means that the Arrowverse star is in agreement with Gunn and the fans’ stance on Superman being an immigrant story.

In multiple interviews over the last decade while The Flash was airing, Gustin has always been open about how he is a mᴀssive Superman fan, which makes his participation in this discussion perfectly logical. It just goes to show that even after his time with the DC franchise has come to an end, Gustin is still showing his interest and support, especially ahead of David Corenswet’s Superman debut.

Our Take On Grant Gustin’s Superman Instagram Stories Post

Even though he may not have shared any additional thoughts in his posts, it’s clear that Gustin perfectly understands the deeper meaning of Superman. Gunn’s recent comments about the themes the film is exploring have been part of Clark Kent’s story since its inception, which makes the negative reactions to it baffling.

After seeing how he is showing his support for the film, it would be incredible if Gustin’s Flash appeared in Gunn’s DCU down the line, where he gets to actually share the screen with Corenswet’s Man of Steel through a fun multiverse crossover. But until then, since Superman arrives in theaters this week, the world will soon get to witness Gunn’s DCU arc for the DC legend.
