The film focuses on universal themes of self-acceptance, love, and overcoming fear through individual strength and family bonds, rather than explicitly promoting a specific political ideology. While its diverse casting aligns with progressive values, the core narrative remains apolitical.
The movie features significant DEI through its explicit recasting of multiple traditionally white roles with minority actors, including the lead protagonist. While the narrative champions themes of self-acceptance and individuality, it does not explicitly critique traditional identities in its portrayal of the central conflict.
The character of The Happy Medium, described as a woman in the source novel, is portrayed by a male actor in the 2018 film adaptation, constituting a gender swap.
Key characters from the Murry family, including Meg, Charles Wallace, and their mother, who were widely understood as white in the original novel, are portrayed by Black and Filipino actors in the 2018 film adaptation.
A Wrinkle in Time does not include any explicit or implicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on Meg Murry's quest to find her father and discover her inner strength, without incorporating elements of queer identity or experience.
The film's conflicts are primarily psychological and spiritual, focusing on emotional strength and the power of love to overcome darkness. No female character engages in or wins close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents.
