The Running Man

The 2025 remake of *The Running Man*, directed by Edgar Wright, features a diverse cast (e.g., Glen Powell, Katy O'Brian, Daniel Ezra) in a dystopian action-thriller about a convict forced into a deadly game show. While the ensemble includes racial and gender diversity typical of modern Hollywood productions, the focus remains on high-octane satire of media exploitation and authoritarianism, mirroring the 1987 original. No prominent progressive messaging, identity politics, or social justice lectures; storytelling prioritizes spectacle and survival thrills over inclusion agendas. Minor woke elements from casting norms.
