Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central conflict consistently critiques corporate and governmental corruption, championing the 'little guy' against powerful, often wealthy, oppressors. This strong focus on systemic exploitation and the need for justice for the marginalized aligns with left-leaning values, despite the solution being individualistic vigilante action rather than systemic political reform.
Leverage features visible diversity within its main cast through original characters. The narrative primarily focuses on critiquing corruption and abuse of power by various antagonists, without explicitly portraying traditional identities negatively. The protagonists, including white males, are generally framed positively.
Secondary
The show frequently depicts corrupt religious leaders or institutions, but consistently condemns their hypocrisy and abuse of power. By exposing these individuals, the narrative implicitly affirms the positive ideals of faith and positions the audience to sympathize with the victims of such exploitation.
The show "Leverage" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The focus remains on the core team's heists and their personal dynamics, without exploring queer identities or storylines.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Leverage is an original television series, not an adaptation or reboot of existing source material. All main characters were created for the show, establishing their genders without prior canonical or historical baselines to swap from.
Leverage is an original series, and its core characters were created specifically for the show.

Therefore, no race swaps occurred.
