The Spirit (2008)

The film 'The Spirit' does not feature any explicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative centers on the titular hero, his love interests, and his arch-nemesis, without incorporating queer identities or storylines into its plot.

The film features several female characters who engage in combat or action sequences, such as Silken Floss, Sand Saref, and Plaster of Paris. However, their victories are primarily achieved through the use of firearms or other ranged weapons. There are no instances where a female character defeats one or more male opponents in close-quarters physical combat using hand-to-hand, martial arts, or melee weapons.

The film "The Spirit" is an adaptation of the comic book series. All major characters, including The Spirit, Sand Saref, Ellen Dolan, and The Octopus, maintain their established genders from the original source material in the movie.

The film adapts characters from the comic strip, none of whom were canonically established as a specific race that was then changed on screen to a different broader racial category. The Octopus's race was never specified in the source material, and other characters' portrayals align with their established races.
