Primary

The movie features a predominantly traditional cast in its main roles without explicit race or gender swaps. While the narrative includes themes of human exploitation and a colonial undertone in its depiction of the expedition to Skull Island, it does not explicitly frame traditional identities negatively as a central part of its story.
