The film uses themes of environmental exploitation and corporate greed primarily as plot devices to drive an action-adventure creature feature, rather than engaging in a deep ideological critique or promoting specific political solutions, thus remaining largely apolitical.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast across various roles, including a white male lead and a Chinese male co-lead, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles for DEI purposes. The narrative maintains a neutral or positive portrayal of traditional identities and does not center on explicit DEI critiques.
The character James 'Mac' Mackreides, who was established as white in the original 'Meg' novel series, is portrayed by Cliff Curtis, an actor of Maori descent, in 'Meg 2: The Trench.' This constitutes a race swap from the source material.
Meg 2: The Trench is an action-horror film centered on giant sharks and underwater exploration. The movie does not feature any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes, leading to an N/A rating for its portrayal of the LGBTQ+ community.
The film features several female characters in action roles, including mercenaries and crew members. While these characters participate in combat and survival scenarios, their victories against male opponents are primarily achieved through the use of firearms or technological means, not close-quarters physical combat.
All returning characters in this sequel maintain their established genders from the previous film and source material. New characters introduced in "Meg 2: The Trench" do not have prior canonical genders to swap from.
