Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around global security and rogue agents, which are largely apolitical action tropes. Its solution emphasizes individual heroism and unconventional methods to protect the existing order, rather than promoting a specific ideological agenda.
The movie features a highly diverse ensemble cast, showcasing various ethnicities and genders in prominent roles. While this diversity is clearly visible, it does not involve explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white characters. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities and does not center on explicit DEI critiques.
Secondary
