While the film critiques corporate overreach and unethical technological manipulation, its central conflict and solution are primarily focused on an individual's quest for personal freedom and revenge, rather than advocating for broader systemic change or promoting specific political ideologies.
The film demonstrates a notable level of diversity through the casting of a traditionally white comic book character with a minority actress. However, its narrative does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center on DEI themes, maintaining a neutral to positive framing of such roles within its action-oriented plot.
KT, a character typically depicted as white in the Valiant Comics source material, is portrayed by Eiza González, a Latina actress, constituting a race swap.
