King Kong (2005)

Peter Jackson's 'King Kong' does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its storyline. The film's focus is entirely on its primary heterosexual relationships and the adventure plot, resulting in no portrayal of queer identity, either positive, negative, or neutral.

The film's primary female character, Ann Darrow, does not engage in direct physical combat with male opponents. There are no other significant female characters shown to participate in or win close-quarters physical fights against men.

The 2005 adaptation of King Kong maintains the established genders for all its major and legacy characters, including Ann Darrow, Carl Denham, Jack Driscoll, and King Kong himself, consistent with the 1933 original film and prior canon.

The 2005 film is a remake of the 1933 original. Key characters like Ann Darrow, Carl Denham, and Jack Driscoll, who were established as white in the source material, are portrayed by white actors in the 2005 adaptation. No established character's race was changed.
