Leans Left

Primary

Political: Leans RightConfidence: High

Casino Royale leans right by championing a strong, decisive individual agent as the necessary solution to global threats, emphasizing duty and national security, despite exploring the personal cost of such a role.

Diversity: HighConfidence: High

Casino Royale exhibits significant DEI, primarily driven by the explicit racial recasting of the traditionally white character Felix Leiter with a Black actor. However, the film's narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities and does not explicitly center DEI themes.

Secondary

Gender Swap: YesConfidence: High

The character of M, a prominent figure in the James Bond franchise, was canonically established as male in the source novels and earlier film adaptations. In Casino Royale (2006), M is portrayed as female, continuing the casting choice from previous films.

Race Swap: YesConfidence: High

Felix Leiter, a character consistently portrayed as white in Ian Fleming's novels and prior film adaptations, is played by a Black actor in this installment.

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

Casino Royale does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The story is entirely focused on heterosexual relationships and traditional espionage plotlines, resulting in no direct portrayal or discussion of queer identity.

FemPower: NoConfidence: High

The film features prominent female characters like Vesper Lynd and Solange Dimitrios. However, neither character engages in direct physical combat where they defeat one or more male opponents through skill, strength, or martial arts. Their roles do not involve such combat scenarios.
