Primary
The film leans left due to its central conflict revolving around the Umbrella Corporation's unchecked greed and unethical experiments, which directly cause the catastrophic outbreak and environmental devastation, aligning with critiques of corporate power.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI primarily through its casting choices, explicitly recasting traditionally white roles with minority actors. However, its narrative remains focused on the horror and action elements, without explicitly critiquing or negatively framing traditional identities.
Secondary
Jill Valentine, a character canonically established as white in the Resident Evil video game series, is portrayed by a Black actress in the film, constituting a race swap.
Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City contains no explicit or identifiable LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes. Therefore, there is no portrayal to evaluate, resulting in a net impact of N/A.
