The film's core narrative focuses on a standard superhero origin story involving individual heroism and the protection of innocent lives from a singular antagonist, without engaging with broader political ideologies or systemic critiques.
The movie demonstrates significant Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion through explicit racial recasting of multiple traditionally white roles. However, its narrative does not feature a critical portrayal of traditional identities, maintaining a neutral or positive framing.
Mattie Franklin, a character canonically depicted as white in Marvel Comics, is portrayed by Celeste O’Connor, a Black actress, in the film, constituting a race swap.
Madame Web does not appear to feature any LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Publicly available information and film reviews focus on other aspects of diversity, such as race and gender, but do not mention LGBTQ+ representation, leading to a classification of N/A for its portrayal.
The film primarily features female characters with precognitive or nascent spider-like abilities. Their engagements with the male antagonist, Ezekiel Sims, rely on strategic use of their powers, evasion, and environmental manipulation rather than direct physical combat where they overpower him through skill or strength.
The film features female leads who are canonically female in the source material, such as Cassandra Webb (Madame Web), Julia Carpenter, Anya Corazon, and Mattie Franklin (all Spider-Women). The male antagonist, Ezekiel Sims, also retains his canonical gender. No established character's gender was changed for this adaptation.
