Overview
The modern world holds many secrets, but by far the most astounding is that witches still live among us; vicious supernatural creatures intent on unleashing the Black Death upon the world and putting an end to the human race once and for all. Armies of witch hunters have battled this unnatural enemy for centuries, including Kaulder, a valiant warrior who many years ago slayed the all-powerful Witch Queen, decimating her followers in the process. In the moments right before her death, the Queen cursed Kaulder with immortality, forever separating him from his beloved wife and daughter. Today, Kaulder is the last living hunter who has spent his immortal life tracking down rogue witches, all the while yearning for his long-lost family.

Center
Primary
The film's core conflict and solution are rooted in apolitical fantasy tropes of good versus evil and individual heroism, rather than engaging with specific political ideologies or societal critiques.
The film features a diverse lead actor in a fantasy role, contributing to visible diversity in the cast without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on its fantasy action plot rather than incorporating explicit DEI critiques.
Secondary
The film portrays the 'Axe and Cross,' a secret Catholic order, as a dedicated and righteous organization that has protected humanity from supernatural threats for centuries. Its members, like Dolan 36th, are depicted as loyal and honorable, aligning the narrative with the virtues of the faith's protective mission.
The Last Witch Hunter does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a heterosexual male protagonist and his interactions with female and male supporting characters, without any explicit or implicit queer representation.
The film features female characters who primarily utilize magical abilities or serve in supportive roles. There are no instances where a female character engages in and wins close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents.
The Last Witch Hunter is an original film with no pre-existing source material, historical figures, or prior installments. All characters were created for this specific movie, meaning there are no established canonical genders to be swapped.
The Last Witch Hunter is an original film with characters created specifically for this production. There is no prior source material (comics, novels, historical figures, or earlier screen versions) that establishes a canonical race for any character that could then be altered.
