City of Ember (2008)

City of Ember does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on two heterosexual teenagers discovering a way to save their city, with no elements suggesting queer identities or experiences are present in the story.

The film features female characters, including the protagonist Lina Mayfleet, who are involved in scenes of pursuit and escape. However, there are no instances where a female character engages in and wins direct physical combat against one or more male opponents through skill, strength, or martial arts.

The film "City of Ember" is an adaptation of the novel by Jeanne DuPrau. A review of the main characters in both the source material and the movie reveals no instances where a character's established gender was changed for the screen adaptation.

The source novel for "City of Ember" does not explicitly specify the race of its characters, nor are they visually depicted in a manner that unambiguously establishes a particular race. Therefore, the casting choices in the film do not constitute a race swap.
