‘Superman’ Actors Join Film Workers for Palestine Petition

David Corenswet, the new Superman, and Milly Alcock, known for playing Supergirl in the DCU are getting attention after adding their names to the Film Workers for Palestine pledge.

The campaign calls on film industry workers to stop working with Israeli film groups that are said to have links to “genocide and apartheid” against Palestinians.

The pledge was launched on September 8, 2025, and asks actors, filmmakers, and production crews to avoid festivals and companies in Israel that, according to the group, play a part in the ongoing conflict.

More than 5000 people in Hollywood have already signed the pledge, including well-known stars and filmmakers. Among the signatories are Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Tilda Swinton, Riz Ahmed, Javier Bardem, and Cynthia Nixon. Those who signed say they want to take a stand for peace and human rights through their work.

But the pledge has also caused division in the industry. Some Hollywood figures have chosen not to sign, saying the situation is too complex or that they prefer to stay away from political statements.

This has led to ongoing arguments on social media, at film events, and even within movie productions. Hollywood now appears split, with different artists expressing different opinions about the conflict.

The Film Workers for Palestine pledge has become one of the most talked-about topics in entertainment this year, and the involvement of Corenswet and Alcock has only added to the debate. With the war in Gaza still ongoing, this discussion about art, politics, and responsibility shows no signs of slowing down.
