Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around a universal fight against tyranny and oppression, which is not inherently tied to one political ideology. While themes of liberation and anti-colonialism for the Quantum Realm inhabitants lean slightly left, these are balanced by strong emphasis on family bonds and individual heroism, resulting in a neutral rating.
The movie demonstrates significant diversity through the explicit racial recasting of a traditionally white, major antagonist role. However, the narrative itself does not explicitly critique traditional identities, nor does it center on overt DEI themes, maintaining a neutral or positive framing of its predominantly white heroic cast.
Secondary
The film includes extremely minor, incidental references to LGBTQ+ identity, such as a character with two dads and a background character whose queerness is not explicitly explored on screen. These elements are not central to the plot and have no significant impact, resulting in a neutral portrayal.
The film features both Hope van Dyne (Wasp) and Cassie Lang (Stature) engaging in and winning physical combat against multiple male opponents. They utilize their size-changing abilities to deliver powerful strikes and takedowns, defeating numerous soldiers in close-quarters encounters.
Kang the Conqueror, a character widely established as white in Marvel Comics source material, is portrayed by a Black actor, Jonathan Majors, in the film.
All established characters from previous installments or source material maintain their canonical gender in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. New characters introduced in the film do not qualify as gender swaps.
