Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film maintains a neutral stance by presenting a national security thriller that critiques the manipulative methods of government agencies while still portraying their necessity in preventing a catastrophic terrorist attack, balancing individual heroism with state efforts.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: Medium

The film features visible diversity within its supporting cast, though its main roles are traditionally cast without explicit race or gender swaps. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive portrayal of traditional identities, focusing on a standard action-thriller plot without explicit DEI themes.

Secondary

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

The film 'Next' is a science fiction action thriller that does not feature any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its plot or character arcs. Consequently, there is no LGBTQ+ portrayal to evaluate, resulting in an N/A rating.

FemPower: NoConfidence: High

The film features Liz Cooper as the primary female character, who is a civilian and becomes a target. While she is present during action sequences, she does not engage in or win any direct physical combat against male opponents. Her role is primarily that of a person being protected or rescued.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film "Next" is an adaptation of Philip K. Dick's short story "The Golden Man." The protagonist, Cris Johnson, is male in both the source material and the film. Other significant characters in the film are original creations and do not represent gender-swapped roles from the source.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film "Next" is an adaptation of Philip K. Dick's short story "The Golden Man." The source material does not explicitly define the race of its characters in a way that conflicts with their portrayal in the film. No established character's race was changed.
