The film critiques individual corporate corruption and the control of information, which has a left-leaning resonance, but champions an individualistic, vigilante solution through a secret society of master illusionists, rather than promoting systemic change or collective action, thus balancing its ideological leanings towards a neutral stance.
The film features a visibly diverse supporting cast, but its core roles remain largely traditional without explicit race or gender swaps. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, focusing on the plot without incorporating explicit DEI critiques.
Now You See Me 2 does not feature any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's narrative and character relationships are entirely heterosexual, leading to a determination of N/A for LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The film features female characters, but none are depicted engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against male opponents. Their roles in action sequences are primarily focused on magic, illusion, and strategic planning rather than direct physical confrontation.
The film is a direct sequel where a female character (Henley Reeves) from the first movie is replaced by a new female character (Lula May). No established character from prior installments or source material has their gender changed.
All returning characters maintain their original race from the first film. New characters introduced in this sequel do not have prior canonical racial depictions to be considered a 'race swap.'
