Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around a corporate conspiracy to suppress environmental technology for profit, a theme strongly aligned with progressive values concerning corporate accountability and environmentalism, leading to a Left-Leaning rating.
The movie features primarily traditional casting, with its central roles filled by white actors, and does not include intentional race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive portrayal of traditional identities, without explicitly critiquing them or centering on strong DEI themes.
Secondary
The film features a minor antagonist, Blueface, who is implied to be in a same-sex relationship. This aspect of his character is presented incidentally, neither uplifting nor denigrating, and is not central to the plot. His role as a villain is unrelated to his implied sexuality, resulting in a neutral portrayal.
The film features several female characters, including Holly March and Amelia Kuttner, but none are depicted engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against male opponents. The hitwoman character primarily uses firearms, and her victories are not achieved through hand-to-hand or melee weapon skills.
The Nice Guys is an original film with an original screenplay and characters. It is not an adaptation, biopic, or reboot of existing material, thus there are no pre-established characters whose gender could have been swapped.
The Nice Guys is an original film with characters created specifically for this movie. There is no prior source material, historical figures, or previous installments from which characters could have been race-swapped.
