The Old Guard is a good example of what LGBTQ+ representation can look like in an action movie.
In terms of The Old Guard, the action movie actually leaned into its gay romance and made the pairing matter without feeling like a stunt or the meeting of a quota.
There’s definitely room for it for filmmakers that make it a priority, and put some love and care into these storylines with some effort.
It’s easy to think back to franchises like Star Wars, where audiences were led to believe that Finn and Poe could be together by the end of it.
