Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Progressive

Primary

The film's central conflict revolves around personal stakes, scientific discovery, and family reunion, with a secondary critique of corporate greed that is a common action movie trope rather than a dominant ideological statement, resulting in a neutral political stance.

The movie demonstrates significant diversity through its casting, including explicit race and gender swaps for characters like Bill Foster and Ghost, who are traditionally white and male in the source material. However, its narrative does not explicitly critique or negatively portray traditional identities.

Secondary

The film features Hope van Dyne (Wasp) who repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against multiple male opponents. Her victories are achieved through a combination of martial arts skill and her shrinking/enlarging abilities.

The character Ghost, who was canonically established and widely perceived as male in Marvel Comics, is portrayed as a female character (Ava Starr) in the film. This constitutes a gender swap.

The character Ghost, typically depicted as a white male in Marvel Comics, is portrayed by Hannah John-Kamen, a biracial actress, in the film. This constitutes a race swap.

Ant-Man and the Wasp does not include any explicit or implicit LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes within its narrative. The film's focus remains on its established heterosexual relationships and the primary plot involving the Quantum Realm and Ghost's origin, without addressing LGBTQ+ representation.

Ant-Man and the Wasp does not feature any transsexual characters or explore related themes. Consequently, the film has no direct impact on the portrayal of transsexual identity, resulting in an N/A rating for its depiction.
