Решение Владимира, вероятно, чище, но также можно добраться до того же места без использования шаблона Jinja. Например, мы можем написать:

- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: false
  vars:

    fictional_characters:
      male:
        - Donkey
        - Humpty
        - Piranha
      female:
        - Fiona
        - Kitty_Softpaws
        - Diane_Foxington
        - Meilin_Lee

    movie_names:
      Donkey: Shrek
      Humpty: Puss_in_Boots
      Piranha: The_Bad_Guys
      Fiona: Shrek
      Kitty_Softpaws: Puss_in_Boots
      Diane_Foxington: The_Bad_Guys
      Meilin_Lee: Turning_Red

  tasks:
    - set_fact:
        new_fictional_characters: >-
          {{
            new_fictional_characters|combine(
              {
                'male': item.0|ternary(new_fictional_characters.male + [movie_names[item.0]], new_fictional_characters.male),
                'female': item.1|ternary(new_fictional_characters.female + [movie_names[item.1]], new_fictional_characters.female),
              }
            )
          }}
      loop: >-
        {{ fictional_characters.male|zip_longest(fictional_characters.female) }}
      vars:
        new_fictional_characters:
          male: []
          female: []

    - set_fact:
        fictional_characters: "{{ new_fictional_characters }}"

    - debug:
        var: fictional_characters

Обратите внимание, что я добавил здесь дополнительный символ, чтобы продемонстрировать, что это работает, когда списки имеют разную длину. Запуск этого производит:

PLAY [localhost] ***************************************************************

TASK [set_fact] ****************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => (item=['Donkey', 'Fiona'])
ok: [localhost] => (item=['Humpty', 'Kitty_Softpaws'])
ok: [localhost] => (item=['Piranha', 'Diane_Foxington'])
ok: [localhost] => (item=[None, 'Meilin_Lee'])

TASK [set_fact] ****************************************************************

        "female": [
            "Shrek",
            "Puss_in_Boots",
            "The_Bad_Guys",
            "Turning_Red"
        ],
        "male": [
            "Shrek",
            "Puss_in_Boots",
            "The_Bad_Guys"
        ]
    }
}

Еще более простое решение — добавить в filter_plugins/swap_names.py следующее:

def filter_swap_names(val, name_map):
    return {k: [name_map[name] for name in v] for k, v in val.items()}


class FilterModule:
    def filters(self):
        return dict(swap_names=filter_swap_names)

А затем напишите плейбук следующим образом:

- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: false
  vars:

    fictional_characters:
      male:
        - Donkey
        - Humpty
        - Piranha
      female:
        - Fiona
        - Kitty_Softpaws
        - Diane_Foxington
        - Meilin_Lee

    movie_names:
      Donkey: Shrek
      Humpty: Puss_in_Boots
      Piranha: The_Bad_Guys
      Fiona: Shrek
      Kitty_Softpaws: Puss_in_Boots
      Diane_Foxington: The_Bad_Guys
      Meilin_Lee: Turning_Red

  tasks:
    - set_fact:
        fictional_characters: "{{ fictional_characters|swap_names(movie_names) }}"

    - debug:
        var: fictional_characters
