Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

No established characters are race- or gender-swapped; new characters are original creations.

Helena, Indy's goddaughter, is a capable younger lead who frequently outsmarts and bails out an aged, weary Indy, and the film repeatedly frames him as a relic out of step with the times, but it stops short of explicit 'men are the problem' messaging.

• Helena is a quick-witted con artist who repeatedly takes charge while an elderly Indy is shown as tired and obsolete
• Indy is portrayed as a lonely, washed-up figure approaching retirement, diminished compared to his prime

No notable LGBTQ+, trans, or non-binary characters or themes.

Some diverse supporting characters (Teddy, Helena) but casting is plausible and not lore-breaking for the 1960s adventure setting.

• Teddy, Helena's young sidekick, is a Moroccan boy who fits the globe-trotting setting

Largely a straightforward adventure; minimal sermonizing beyond mild aging-out-of-relevance themes.

No explicit toxic-masculinity or anti-West framing; the villain is a returning Nazi, the standard franchise antagonist.

A franchise continuation rather than an adaptation; changes to Indy's legacy (the introduction of a new female co-lead) are story choices, not identity-driven rewrites of an established character.
