The film centers on a male protagonist's revenge quest with no female characters involved in physical combat. Women appear only peripherally, such as in photographs, without engaging male opponents in close-quarters fights.

The film reprises the male lead Aatami Korpi with the same actor, and introduces new characters portrayed by actors matching the roles' established genders without altering any canonical depictions.

Returning protagonist Aatami Korpi is portrayed by the same Finnish actor Jorma Tommila as in the original film, with supporting characters like Soviet officer Yeagor Draganov played by white actor Stephen Lang, aligning with established ethnic depictions and yielding no race swaps.
