The film's core narrative, centered on a 'cure' for mutation, serves as a powerful allegory for minority rights, critiquing forced assimilation and championing the preservation of identity against societal prejudice and state intervention.
X-Men: The Last Stand demonstrates significant DEI through the explicit recasting of a traditionally white comic book character with a Latina actress. The film's core narrative continues the franchise's central theme of a minority group facing prejudice and the threat of a 'cure' from the dominant society, serving as a powerful allegory for real-world struggles.
The film features Callisto, a mutant with enhanced speed, who engages in direct physical combat using knives against multiple male soldiers during the final confrontation, demonstrating clear victories through her physical prowess.
The character Callisto, who is typically depicted as white in the source comics, is portrayed by Dania Ramirez, an actress of Latina descent, constituting a race swap.
The film does not feature any explicitly identified LGBTQ+ characters or themes. While the 'mutant' metaphor is often interpreted as an allegory for marginalized groups, including LGBTQ+ individuals, the narrative itself does not directly depict or address queer identities, resulting in no specific portrayal to evaluate.
All major and legacy characters in X-Men: The Last Stand maintain their established genders from the source material, with no instances of a character canonically or historically established as one gender being portrayed as a different gender.
