The movie features a visibly diverse supporting cast, including prominent roles for Asian and Black actors, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, and DEI themes are not central to the plot's core mystery or horror elements.

Malignant does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The story focuses on a parasitic twin and its violent re-emergence, with no elements related to gender identity or transition present in the plot or character arcs.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Malignant is an original horror film with no pre-existing source material, historical figures, or legacy characters. All characters were created for this film, thus there are no instances of a character's gender being changed from a prior established version.
