Detailed Bias Analysis

Progressive
Primary
The film's core conflict centers on universal moral themes of grief, the corrupting influence of power, and individual responsibility, rather than promoting specific political ideologies or critiquing societal systems.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI primarily through the prominent introduction and casting of America Chavez, a Latina LGBTQ+ character, in a central role. While this character brings explicit diversity, the narrative itself does not explicitly critique or negatively frame traditional identities, focusing instead on personal struggles and multiverse conflicts.
Secondary
The film features America Chavez, a heroic protagonist with two loving mothers, briefly shown in a flashback. This positive, normalized depiction of a queer family, without any negative framing or prejudice, contributes to an overall affirming portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes.
Baron Mordo, a character historically depicted as white in Marvel Comics, is portrayed by a Black actor, Chiwetel Ejiofor. This casting choice, established in the first Doctor Strange film, constitutes a race swap from the character's comic book origins.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The film's narrative focuses on multiversal travel, magic, and the conflict between Doctor Strange and the Scarlet Witch, without engaging with transgender identity or related storylines.
The film features powerful female characters like Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch) and America Chavez. While Wanda defeats numerous male opponents, her victories are achieved through overwhelming magical powers and reality manipulation, not direct physical combat or martial arts. America Chavez primarily uses her portal-generating powers for evasion and travel, not physical fighting.
The film features established characters from Marvel comics and previous MCU installments. All major characters maintain their canonical gender portrayals, with no instances of a character originally established as one gender being depicted as a different gender.
