Scarlett Johansson’s been subjected to a fair amount of criticism over a few roles she’s agreed to take on. There was, for instance, the uproar over her casting as Major Mira Killian in 2017's Ghost in the Shell, as her character was based off a Japanese manga. More recently, Johansson dropped out of the (ostensibly cancelled) film Rub & Tug, after she received criticism over being cast as a trans man.

‘You know, as an actor I should be allowed to play any person, or any tree, or any animal because that is my job and the requirements of my job,’ she said point blank.

She continued: ‘I feel like it’s a trend in my business and it needs to happen for various social reasons, yet there are times it does get uncomfortable when it affects the art because I feel art should be free of restrictions.’ ‘I think society would be more connected if we just allowed others to have their own feelings and not expect everyone to feel the way we do.’One of the “various social reasons” Johansson cannot play “any person,” to recap, at least whereis concerned, is that transgender actors have had a hard time getting cast as anything other than transgender characters; to have a cisgender actor play a transgender character takes away one of the few roles available to the trans community.

For real

pathetic hollywood!

Love everything you do Scarlet, Beautiful Lady You Absolutely Rock 💖🏅🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😊😎

She does have a right to do want ever she wants too.

She is incorrect about trans issue.First a genetic woman playing an trans man is an insult to trans men.A genetic male would be more appropriate but still wouldn’t address the issue that Hollywood does not hire trans for trans parts &the content of shows with trans sucks usually.

Hollywood is best known for its relationship to trans by how it has treated America’s first award winning never closeted trans singer Bralalalala.Ignoring rape,malicious prosecution cases by the supervising art director of dozens of Hollywood’s biggest films as he evades court

She's a god damn actor her job is to act as her character so if she is casted for a trans man then she acts as a trans man. If the argument is she's not trans then guess what she isn't any other of her roles either so everyone needs to get off her shit.

Right that’s why they are called actors.. like shit back then only men could be actors and played women and crap! Like what matter is who’s the better actor to portray the role and take the movie to the level they want to reach!

I'm conflicted. Can't transpeople play straight and straight play trans? Why not broaden the field for every good actor regardless of gender or gender-fluidity?

You guys must have been furious about Eddie Redmayne and Jeffrey Tambour playing trans people... it is it just Scarlett

Women: attacking the pretty girl for being cute/talented. Typical.
