The film adheres to a strictly heteronormative framework. The central emotional arc focuses on Logan's vengeance for a lost romantic partner, offering no explicit depictions of queer intimacy or non-cisnormative identities.

The narrative centers on masculine rivalry and brotherhood. While characters like Jean Grey and Silverfox possess significant supernatural agency, the primary momentum remains driven by male-centric conflict.

Meaningful inclusion is found through characters like Ororo Munroe, who provides Black agency. The film also uses the mutant metaphor to explore themes of being 'othered' within a diverse cast.

The story adopts an anti-authoritarian stance by critiquing the predatory Weapon X program. It frames the protagonists as fugitives resisting systemic corruption and the breakdown of traditional social pillars.

Mutancy serves as a pervasive metaphor for neurodivergence and physical difference. While characters possess agency, the film occasionally leans toward superhero exceptionalism rather than a nuanced exploration of lived disability.
