Dean Cain, who played the fictional hero in the TV series “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman,” revealed the news in a Tuesday, Aug. 5 video posted across his social media platforms.

Both Superman and Cain have reentered the public eye in recent months. In July, “Superman” (2025) director James Gunn spoke about the Man of Steel’s immigrant origins, calling the story of Superman “ the story of America ,” and one of “basic human kindness.” Cain took offense to this framing.
