The two main characters ("hero" and villain) are White men. Eric/The Crow's love interest, Shelly, is played by FKA Twigs, who was born in England to a Jamaican father and has Spanish ancestry. Her character is likable and important but doesn't get to do much in the grand scheme of things. Most of the rest of the characters have little to do, but several are played by actors of color and/or women (including Black actor Josette Simon; Sami Bouajila, who identifies as Tunisian-French; Finnish actor Laura Birn; and Jamaican English actor Jordan Bolger).
