Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023)

The film's central thesis explicitly promotes progressive ideology by critiquing a rigid, established system ("the Canon") that demands individual sacrifice for perceived order, championing instead individual agency and the right to forge one's own path.

The movie prominently features a diverse cast, including an Afro-Latino lead who is an explicit race swap of a traditionally white role, alongside other intentional race-swapped characters. Its narrative centers on the protagonist challenging established, traditional norms within the superhero universe, emphasizing individuality and a break from conventional paths.

The film includes a subtle, positive nod to trans rights via a 'Protect Trans Kids' poster in a character's room. However, there are no explicitly identified LGBTQ+ main characters or central themes, resulting in a neutral overall impact on LGBTQ+ portrayal.

The film features Gwen Stacy (Spider-Gwen) who, despite having superpowers, engages in and wins a direct physical fight against a male antagonist. Her victory is achieved through close-quarters combat and physical incapacitation.
