Being a comedic role, DiCaprio’s acting skills have been praised in the film as he struggles to rescue his kidnapped daughter. The entire story revolves around DiCaprio’s character as he goes through redemption as a father and a failure as a revolutionary.
Sean Penn as Col. Steven J. Lockjaw
Sean Penn helms the movie as its major antagonist, Col. Steven J. Lockjaw. During the revolution, Lockjaw was imprisoned by the revolutionaries, a crime that he never forgave and never forgot.
Being ruthless, Sean Penn represents the oppressive system that was designed to hurt the revolutionaries and keep them in check. Being a nemesis to DiCaprio’s Bob Ferguson, Col. Steven J. Lockjaw remains the central antagonist of the tale.
Benicio del Toro as Sergio St. Carlos
Benicio del Toro portrays the role of Sergio St. Carlos (better known as Sensei Sergio in the film). Sergio St. Carlos is a friend of Bob Ferguson, and their friendship goes back to the revolutionary days.
Holding up a mirror to DiCaprio’s Bob Ferguson, Carlos is calm, philosophical, and instead of fighting out, he chooses the path of adapting and surviving under new terms.
Regina Hall as Deandra
Regina Hall portrays the role of Deandra, a small-scale fighter who is still trying to fight with the revolutionaries. However, she is disillusioned by the bigger picture and serves as an emotional depth to the movie.
Her complex character involves a fury of revolution but also a sense of realism, making the ordeal more complex and contrasting. Although she doesn’t have an integral addition to the core storyline, Deandra is used to showcase how different revolutionaries have coped in different circumstances.
Teyana Taylor as Perfidia Beverly Hills
In One Battle After Another, Teyana Taylor portrays the role of Perfidia Beverly Hills, an ex-comrade/lover of DiCaprio’s Bob Ferguson. She is the mother of Willa Ferguson.
Once a revolutionary icon, Perfidia represents survival and reinvention while her relationship with Bob Ferguson is broken and on a fragile note.
