!!The Disruptors
A group of reputable influencers and celebrities led by billionaire Miles Bron, who are all invited to his private island to partake in a special game.
----
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To the Thrombeys. [[spoiler:The Thrombeys were a BigScrewedUpFamily of backstabbing leeches who were spoiled by Harlan, and were ultimately cut out of his inheritance for their terrible behavior. The Disruptors, by contrast, are a more morally gray friend group who cut Andi out of her own company after she built their careers as she protested Miles' reckless push to use Klear as a new energy resource, and he in turn threatened to dismantle each of them. And while it was left ambiguous if the Thrombeys would eventually change for the better, to the Disruptors' credit, they ''do'' turn on Miles in the end and agree to testify truthfully this time to ensure he goes to prison.]]
* InformedAbility: As a group of intelligent and farsighted individuals. With the exception of Birdie (who is consistently portrayed as an airhead) they are all supposed to be very smart and both Andi and Lionel especially are depicted as geniuses or at least close to it. While they do seem to be BookSmart (Lionel having a healthy fear of Klear for instance) they are also [[spoiler: ''completely'' fooled by Miles's con man job for years with no indication they'd have figured things out if not for outside intervention.]]
* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:While Andi and Duke die, and Miles will go to prison for murdering both, it's unclear what him going under will do to the rest of them. However, seeing as he's finished either way and can no longer hold their careers hostage, the rest of the group decide they should at least commit to ensure he pays for his crimes.]]

[[spoiler: Ultimately subverted as he's truly not competent at all, simply riding off the coattails of his former partner, Andi]].
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: [[spoiler:To Ransom from the first movie. Ransom was an unmotivated slacker who was openly rude to everybody, but hid a devious mind. In contrast, Miles is ambitious to a fault and puts on a friendly facade to everyone he meets, but beneath it all, he's truthfully a corrupt and selfish idiot. Their motives also contrast. Ransom, born into wealth, wished to secure the family fortune so that he could continue living his carefree pampered life. Miles started off as a nobody before getting rich by riding off the coattails of Andi's ideas, and wants to maintain his wealth and status so that he can continue pushing boundaries in technology and make himself renowned throughout the world]].
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: [[spoiler:Stole Alpha form his business partner Andi when they conflicted over Klear, and kicked her from the company without leaving her a dime. Miles later murders Andi when he finds out she has proof that she came up with the idea for Alpha, later doing the same to Duke when he blackmails him over it]].

* DumberThanTheyLook: [[spoiler: While he puts on the illusion that he's a complex genius, Miles Bron is truthfully an idiot who's wholly reliant on riding off other people's ideas]].
* EveryoneHasStandards: He regularly comes up with bizarre and often impractical ideas for inventions, but even he wants to steer clear of being associated with Duke's "rhino boner pills".
* GladIThoughtOfIt: Miles' ''modus operandi''. Not only did he steal the idea that made him billions, but [[spoiler:he only comes up with the idea of shutting the lights off and shooting someone after Blanc plants the seed in his head]].
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Miles' loud, egotistical need to flaunt his wealth and be theatrical results in him inviting Helen to the island so he can corner and kill her, while also explaining the safety mechanism behind the Mona Lisa's protective casing in her presence. Combine this with foolishly using Klear to power the house, and Helen is able to exploit this flaw and blow the entire building up along with the Mona Lisa, proving Klear is a volatile substance, tanking Alpha and Miles' net worth in one fell swoop.]]
* {{Malaproper}}: The guy throws around several big sounding words to sound smarter than he actually is.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He's a very blatant riff on Elon Musk.
* PetTheDog: For all his many faults, he lets Derol live on his private island due to him "going through some stuff", with seemingly no real gain for himself.
* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: Miles is filthy rich and has made multiple bad decisions using that money, such as building a dock which can only be used at low tide in the one docking point of his personal island and installing an easily accessed bypass on the ''Mona Lisa'''s protective case. [[spoiler:He also decided to run his entire compound on a dangerous and untested experimental fuel which he got from a Norweigian scientist at ayahuasca retreat, kept damning evidence in a picture frame instead of destroying it, and utilized an easily recognizable car as his getaway vehicle.]]

* BlackmailBackfire: [[spoiler:When he sees a news update of Andi's "suicide", he realizes Miles killed her and tries to get a position on Miles' news network in exchange for his silence. Apparently, even Miles wasn't enough of an idiot to take him up on that offer.]]
* FiringInTheAirALot: He has a habit of randomly firing his gun in the air.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He's a far from flattering riff on Creator/JoeRogan.
* PlotAllergy: Duke is allergic to pineapple, [[spoiler:which Miles uses to his advantage to kill him]].
* TestosteronePoisoning: Frequently does manly things, like bringing his own pistol to the island, which ends up making him seem even more pathetic and buffoonish.

[[folder:Claire]]
!!Claire Debella
!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/KathrynHahn
The governor of Connecticut, currently running for the Senate.
----
* EnragedByIdiocy: While she's rather self-absorbed in her own right, Claire is continually infuriated by Birdie's dimwittedness.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Despite portraying herself as a climate warrior in the media, she's mostly concerned about how Miles' disastrous energy source launch will affect her campaign for the Senate.
* StressVomit: Does so shortly after being told that [[spoiler:the authorities will be informed about Duke's death, as Claire's affiliation with him as well as her vacationing on the Island during a pandemic, will be a political scandal for her]].

[[folder:Birdie]]
!!Birdie Jay
!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/KateHudson
A dimwitted fashion designer who frequently causes controversies online due to her own ignorance.
----
* {{Blackface}}: It's implied that she did this in a misguided "tribute to {{Music/Beyonce}}".
* BrainlessBeauty: Birdie is a famous and beautiful former model who is so gaffe-prone that her assistant can't trust her with a phone in case she makes an offensive slur out of sheer ignorance. [[spoiler: That same stupidity led to her using an infamous sweatshop to manufacture a line of designer sweat pants simply because that's what she thought the term 'sweat shop' meant without any negative connotations.]]
* DumbBlonde: Has blonde hair, and is easily the least intelligent of the Disruptors.
* TheFashionista: She used to be a supermodel and now works as a fashion designer, and wears colorful, flashy dresses throughout the film.
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: Birdie has a bad habit of misinterpreting slurs and similar terms, then repeating them in a way that gets her in hot water.

Birdie's assistant who constantly has to keep her on a leash.
----
* BeleagueredAssistant: Is exasperated with how often she needs to do damage control for Birdie and prevent her from doing something stupid.
* NotSoAboveItAll: It's heavily implied she's not particularly responsible herself. [[spoiler:When Birdie's reputation is at risk of being sunk completely due to her condoning sweatshops for her materials, Peg believes that this'll ruin her as well as being an assistant for Birdie was her only real work on her resume]].

[[folder:'''Spoiler Character''']]
!!Helen Brand
!!!'''Played By:''' Music/JanelleMonae
Andi's twin sister, impersonating her at Miles' party to help Blanc investigate.
----
* CountryMouse: As a humble schoolteacher in Alabama, she clearly feels out of place on the island, only exacerbated by her needing to pretend to be Andi.
* DeepSouth: She is from Alabama, and has a Southern accent nearly as thick as Blanc's. She hides it during Miles' party when disguising herself as Andi, however, since it is implied Andi suppressed her own Southern accent as she became successful.
* MySiblingWillLiveThroughMe: Disguises herself as her sister Andi during Miles' party.
* WalkingSpoiler: Her existence was never advertised during promotions for the movie. The reveal that she's impersonating her sister turns the whole movie on its head.

!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/NoahSegan
