Overview
Immortals Connor and Duncan Macleod join forces against a man from Connor's distant past in the highlands of Scotland, Kell, an immensely powerful immortal who leads an army of equally powerful and deadly immortal swordsmen and assassins. No immortal alive has been able to defeat Kell yet, and neither Connor nor Duncan are skilled enough themselves to take him on and live. The two of them eventually come to one inevitable conclusion; one of them must die so that the combined power of both the Highlanders can bring down Kell for good. There can be only one... the question is, who will it be?

Primary
The film's central conflict, involving immortal beings fighting for supremacy, is largely apolitical. Its narrative focuses on individual heroism and destiny to resolve an existential threat, rather than engaging with specific left or right-leaning ideologies.
The movie features some visible diversity in its supporting cast, but its core characters and narrative do not involve explicit race or gender swaps of traditional roles. The story maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, without incorporating explicit DEI critiques or themes as central to its plot.
Secondary
The film's main antagonist, Jacob Kell, is a former priest whose religious background is used to emphasize his profound fall from grace and the depth of his villainy. There is no counterbalancing positive portrayal of the faith or its adherents within the narrative.
Highlander: Endgame does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. Consequently, there is no portrayal to evaluate, resulting in a net impact rating of N/A for LGBTQ+ representation.
The film features Faith, an Immortal who engages in sword combat. However, she does not achieve a clear victory in direct physical combat against any male opponent. Her primary combat encounter is against Duncan MacLeod, who ultimately defeats her.
Highlander: Endgame features established characters like Connor and Duncan MacLeod, who maintain their canonical male gender. New characters introduced in the film do not replace or reimagine any pre-existing characters of a different gender. Therefore, no gender swaps are present.
All legacy characters in "Highlander: Endgame" maintain their established racial portrayals from previous installments. New characters introduced in this film do not have prior canonical races to be swapped from.
