Center

Primary

Political: Leans RightConfidence: High

The film leans right by championing individualistic, 'old school' methods and the enduring power of experienced, traditional masculinity to solve problems, ultimately portraying modern, tech-driven approaches as less effective.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

The movie features a visibly diverse ensemble cast with various ethnicities and a prominent female character, but these roles are not explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative maintains a traditional action film structure, portraying traditional identities neutrally or positively without explicit DEI themes.

Secondary

FemPower: YesConfidence: High

The film features Luna, a female character who repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against multiple male opponents. Her victories are achieved through martial arts and hand-to-hand combat.

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

The Expendables 3 is an action film that does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses exclusively on its ensemble cast of action heroes and their mission, without engaging with queer identity in any capacity.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The Expendables 3 introduces new female characters but does not alter the gender of any established characters from previous installments. All returning legacy characters maintain their original gender.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

The Expendables 3 features an ensemble of original characters, some returning from previous installments and others new to the film. All returning characters maintain their established racial portrayals, and new characters do not have prior canonical racial definitions to be swapped from.
