The film's geopolitical and espionage themes are presented in a convoluted, silly, and fantastical manner, explicitly diluting any coherent political commentary and rendering its narrative largely apolitical.
The movie exhibits primarily traditional casting, characterized by a predominance of affluent white characters and a noted absence of significant racial, ethnic, or queer minority representation. The narrative does not appear to critically portray traditional identities.
The film features Elly Conway, who, after a significant plot reveal, demonstrates combat proficiency by engaging in and winning close-quarters physical fights against multiple male agents.
Argylle has been widely criticized for its complete lack of LGBTQ+ representation. The film features no queer characters or themes, leading to a notable absence of inclusivity regarding diverse sexual orientations and identities in its portrayal.
The film "Argylle" is an original story with newly created characters, not an adaptation of pre-existing material. As such, there are no characters who were previously established in a different gender in source material, prior installments, or real-world history.
The film 'Argylle' features new characters of color in minor roles, such as Samuel L. Jackson's CIA director, rather than recasting established characters from prior canon or history with actors of a different race. There is no evidence of race-swapped characters.
