Leans Progressive
Primary
The film champions an individualistic, extra-legal solution to systemic corruption and crime, emphasizing personal responsibility and direct, forceful action over institutional reform, aligning with right-leaning themes.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI primarily through its casting choice of a Black actor in the traditionally white role of Kingpin. However, its narrative does not explicitly critique or negatively frame traditional identities, focusing instead on themes of justice and personal conflict.
Secondary
Wilson Fisk, known as Kingpin, is canonically a white character in the Marvel comics. In the 2003 film, he is portrayed by Michael Clarke Duncan, a Black actor, which constitutes a race swap.
The film prominently features Matt Murdock's Catholic faith as a core aspect of his character, providing a moral compass and a framework for his internal struggles. Father Lantom, a Catholic priest, is portrayed as a wise and compassionate confidant, affirming the positive role of faith and its institutions.
The film 'Daredevil' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Consequently, there is no portrayal of LGBTQ+ identity or experiences within the narrative.
The film features Elektra Natchios as the primary female character involved in combat. She engages Daredevil in a physical confrontation that ends in a stalemate, and later fights Bullseye, ultimately being defeated by him. No female character is depicted as victorious in direct physical combat against one or more male opponents.
The film adapts characters from Marvel Comics. All major and supporting characters, including Daredevil, Elektra, Kingpin, and Bullseye, maintain their established genders from the source material.
