The film's core conflict, the persecution of mutants as a metaphor for marginalized groups, strongly aligns with progressive critiques of systemic injustice, advocating for coexistence and empathy over fear and division as the solution to societal conflict.
The movie features visible diversity within its ensemble cast, particularly among the newly introduced mutant characters, with these roles generally reflecting their comic book origins. The narrative explores themes of prejudice and acceptance through the allegory of mutants, providing a subtle engagement with diversity, equity, and inclusion without explicitly critiquing traditional identities.
The film features Mystique, who, in one scene, uses her physical combat skills and agility to defeat multiple male security guards in close-quarters before being injured. Other female characters primarily use superpowers or fight genderless robots.
Blink, a character typically depicted as white or of ambiguous race in the comics, is portrayed by an East Asian actress. Sunspot, canonically Afro-Brazilian, is portrayed by a Mexican actor, altering his racial depiction.
X-Men: Days of Future Past does not feature any explicitly identified LGBTQ+ characters or themes. While the broader X-Men narrative often serves as an allegory for marginalized groups, including the queer community, the film itself does not directly depict or address LGBTQ+ identity, leading to an N/A rating for its specific portrayal.
The film features established X-Men characters from the comics and prior films, all of whom maintain their canonical genders. No character originally established as one gender is portrayed as a different gender on screen.
