Leans Progressive
Primary
The film receives a neutral rating because its central focus is on personal and existential struggles related to immortality, explicitly avoiding overt political commentary or contemporary political issues.
The movie features a highly diverse cast in leading roles, including significant racial, ethnic, and LGBTQ+ representation. Its narrative centers on characters from varied cultural and historical backgrounds, exploring themes of historical injustice and personal trauma through an inclusive storytelling approach led by a woman of color director.
Secondary
The film maintains LGBTQ+ visibility through characters like Joe and Nicky, and implied subtext for Andy and Quynh. However, their relationships are depicted with reduced screen time, emotional depth, and explicit affection. Critics note the portrayal is subdued, sanitized, and less central than in the first film, offering baseline representation without significant advancement.
The film centers on strong female leads, including two women over 40, who are featured in prominent combat roles. These characters engage in and are victorious in close-quarters physical battles against male opponents, maintaining a women-centric narrative.
There is currently not enough information available to assess the portrayal of transsexual characters or themes in The Old Guard 2. The provided details focus on plot, production, and cast, without any discussion of transgender representation, making it impossible to determine if such elements are present or how they are depicted.
The film features established female characters like Andy and introduces a new female antagonist, Discord. No existing characters from the source material or previous installments have had their gender changed for this sequel.
The film emphasizes diverse casting and inclusive storytelling with new characters, but the provided information does not indicate any established character from the source material or previous installment has been portrayed by an actor of a different race.
