Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
Despite inherent anti-war undertones from its brutal depiction of combat, the film maintains a neutral stance by explicitly aiming for an apolitical portrayal focused on realism and authenticity, deliberately avoiding explicit political commentary on the conflict's context.
The film features a visibly diverse cast within its military unit, though it does not emphasize explicit DEI-driven casting choices. Its narrative focuses on combat realism and the soldier's perspective, deliberately avoiding broader political, cultural, or social critiques, thus limiting its engagement with wider DEI themes.
Secondary
The film portrays Ray Mendoza, a real-life Navy SEAL of Hispanic (Mexican-American) descent, with D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, an actor of Indigenous (Anishinaabe) descent. This constitutes a race swap as a historically established character's race is depicted differently.
Warfare (2025) does not portray the LGBTQ community, either explicitly or implicitly. The film's focus is on the visceral experience of combat, military brotherhood, and the psychological impact of trauma, without venturing into issues of sexual orientation or gender identity.
Based on current information, *Warfare* (2025) does not appear to include or portray transsexual characters or the transsexual community. Available details focus on the film's general war setting and male bonds, with no mention of transsexual representation.
The film primarily follows photojournalists who observe and document modern warfare. The main female characters, Lee Smith and Jessie Cullen, are not depicted engaging in direct physical combat. There are no scenes where a female character defeats one or more male opponents in close-quarters physical combat using skill, strength, or martial arts.
The film's characters are based on real Navy SEALs from historical testimonies and are portrayed with genders consistent with their real-life identities, with no reported changes from the source material or historical record.
