The film's dominant themes align with progressive values, focusing on the critique of colonial resource exploitation, environmental degradation, and the struggle of an indigenous-coded people against an oppressive imperial system.
The movie demonstrates significant diversity through explicit race and gender-swapped casting for several key roles. While it subtly critiques colonial power structures, the narrative does not explicitly portray traditional identities negatively, with a white male protagonist at its core.
Dune: Part One does not include any explicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's narrative is centered on the Atreides family's struggle for survival and power on Arrakis, without incorporating elements of sexual or gender identity beyond heteronormative relationships.
The film features Lady Jessica, who uses the 'Voice' to incapacitate opponents, which is a mental ability, not direct physical combat. Her only close-quarters fight is against another female character. No female character is depicted defeating male opponents in physical combat.
