Rogue doesn't meet a whole lot of women to be fair. There are three main women he comes across, two are GIs themselves (Venus Bluegenes and Azure) and while you could say both are somewhat belligerent at times it's more complex than they merely betray Rogue and both tend to be considered allies much of the time.
the third is Sister Sledge, a Souther nurse who tags along with Rogue and who is
The comic as originally conceived in the 80s has an old fashioned attitude towards women (female GIs are called Dolls and are mainly slated for administrative. nursing or R&R duties) but that has evolved over time and I sincerely doubt any of that is going to permeate the film. If for no other reason than none of it is integral to understanding the character. I do wonder if Atwell will play Venus. There have been plenty of women in the Rogue universe the last few years, including Atalia Jaegir whose spin off series is perhaps the best thing outside of the core Rogue Trooper concept.
It's no more violent than any other war comic TBH, much of the nastiness tends to come from people being killed by poison clouds rather than Rogue, and he is very much aware of his nature. The whole point of the series is that while he was created as an obedient soldier he went 'rogue' after the Quartz Massacre to avenge the deaths of his comrades. He's hunted by both sides. To the Norts he's an enemy, to the Southers a deserter.
