The film's solution to its central conflict relies on individualistic, decisive, and often extra-legal force by a group of highly capable individuals, bypassing traditional governmental structures, which aligns with right-leaning narratives.
The movie features a visibly diverse ensemble cast, including prominent non-white and female characters, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. The narrative maintains a positive portrayal of traditional male action hero identities, with DEI themes not being a central focus of the story.
The film features Maggie Chan, a skilled operative and member of the Expendables team. She is shown to be proficient in close-quarters combat, including a scene where she defeats a male opponent using a melee weapon.

The Expendables 2 is a sequel where all returning characters maintain their established gender. New characters introduced in this film or the series do not have prior canonical genders to swap from. Therefore, no gender swaps occur.
All major characters in The Expendables 2 either reprise their roles from the previous film with the same actors or are new characters introduced to the franchise without prior racial establishment. No character's race was changed from a canonical or established baseline.
