The film's core conflict revolves around mythological good versus evil and a protagonist's struggle with his identity, which are largely apolitical themes. Its narrative focuses on individual heroism and duty to protect humanity from supernatural threats, rather than promoting specific political ideologies.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI primarily through its casting choices, notably the explicit race-swap of a traditionally white character with a minority actress. While the narrative does not explicitly critique traditional identities, the intentional diversity in casting is clearly evident.
Alice Monaghan, a character canonically depicted as white in the Hellboy comics, is portrayed by Sasha Lane, an actress of Native American and African American descent, constituting a race swap.
The film 'Hellboy' (2019) does not include any explicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Consequently, there is no portrayal to evaluate, leading to an N/A rating for its net impact on LGBTQ+ representation.
The film features powerful female characters, but their combat victories are primarily achieved through magic, supernatural abilities, or psychic powers, not through direct physical combat, martial arts, or melee weapon skills against male opponents.
The 2019 film adapts characters from the Hellboy comic series. All major and established characters, including Hellboy, Professor Bruttenholm, Alice Monaghan, and Major Ben Daimio, retain their canonical gender from the source material.
