The movie features visible diversity in its supporting cast, including prominent roles for Black actors, which adds a layer of representation without explicitly altering traditionally white roles. The narrative, however, maintains a traditional framing, focusing on a classic revenge and romance plot without explicitly critiquing or centering DEI themes.
