Leans Progressive
Primary
The film leans left due to its central critique of corporate exploitation and unethical scientific practices, coupled with the systemic persecution of a marginalized group (mutants) and the portrayal of child refugees seeking a safe haven from an oppressive system.
Logan features a cast that includes some diversity, but it does not engage in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative centers on the struggles of its main characters without critically portraying traditional identities or making explicit DEI critiques central to its themes.
Secondary
The film prominently features Laura Kinney (X-23), a young mutant with adamantium claws and enhanced physical abilities. She repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical combat against multiple male Transigen soldiers and operatives throughout the movie.
The film portrays the Munson family, implied to be Christian, as deeply compassionate and hospitable. Their faith appears to inform their virtuous actions, and the narrative frames their kindness as admirable, even in the face of tragedy.
Logan does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. The film's focus is on themes of family, sacrifice, and the struggle of mutants, without incorporating specific LGBTQ+ representation or storylines.
Logan features established characters whose on-screen genders align with their canonical portrayals. New characters introduced in the film, such as Laura (X-23), are not gender-swapped versions of previously established characters from the source material.
All major and legacy characters in Logan, including Wolverine, Professor X, and X-23, are portrayed by actors whose race aligns with their established canonical depictions in the source material and previous film installments. No instances of a race swap were identified.
