Primary
The film's central narrative critiques unchecked corporate power and wealth, portraying a powerful industrialist as corrupt and unjust, and champions an individual's quest to expose this systemic failure and achieve justice for the wronged.
The series features a Black actor in the lead role, portraying a character inspired by the traditionally white French literary figure Arsène Lupin, which signifies explicit DEI in casting. The narrative, however, maintains a neutral stance regarding the portrayal of traditional identities and does not center on an explicit DEI critique.
Secondary
Lupin features Lieutenant Sofia Belkacem, a lesbian character whose relationship is depicted with dignity and normalcy. Her sexuality is integrated respectfully into her character arc without being a source of conflict or mockery. This portrayal contributes to a positive and affirming representation of LGBTQ+ identity within the series.
The series features Assane Diop, a character directly inspired by and embodying the spirit of Arsène Lupin, who was canonically established as a white French gentleman thief. Assane Diop is portrayed by Omar Sy, a Black actor, constituting a race swap for the central character.
Based on the available information, 'Lupin, 2021' does not appear to feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Consequently, the film receives an N/A rating for its portrayal, as there is no depiction to evaluate.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The series features Assane Diop, an original character inspired by Arsène Lupin, rather than a direct adaptation of a pre-existing character with a gender change. No other established characters from the source material are depicted with a different gender.
