ScarJo says she oughta be able to play anyone she wants.

appears to be backtracking on her feelings about withdrawing from a movie where she was playing a trans person ... now saying she outta be able to play whoever the hell she wants.

She added,"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," going on to say ..."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.

Interestingly enough, Scarlett's been involved in other casting controversies as well -- including in 2017 when she starred in"Ghost in the Shell," which was originally written with an Asian protagonist when it debuted as a Japanese manga series.

You’re right, ScarJo!

Totally agree. Play any role you’re hired to play!!

It’s about time

ScarJo thinks she ought to be able to play any character that comes her way.🇺🇸😍💋🙋🏼‍♀️💜💋

That's the issue White actors mostly males have played anyone they wanted. Should a White female play Rosa Parks? Should a White female play Venus Williams? Should a White female actor play K. Harris well I’ll give that one.

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

She’s speaking the truth leave the damm cast the way it is

yes, you should. PC is a cult... they are fanatics

She should know better. Never thought of her as a bigot but I do now.

Agree. Freedom of expression not oppression. Not just in art but politically, personally, & faith!

Wait a second. People are really upset about actors playing people they are not in movies? Isn’t that their job? So only actual psychopathic killers can play the villains now? R. Kelly has a lot of movie roles waiting for him in that case.

What happened to merit. If you're the top box-office draw, I'm sorry but it's show business for a reason, not show friends.

It's hard on the fans too. Believe me, we'd rather just enjoy the movie or show without worrying about the next political insult or whatever they do. I just want the entertainment part of anything I see. The enjoyment of it and appreciating all of what you guys do.

Because her roles are disappearing

Sucks when the world you helped create bites YOU in ass, eh toots?

When you are killed by the monster you helped create.

Wait a second. People are really upset about actors playing people they are not? Isn’t that their job? So only actual psychopathic killers can play the villains now?

It's true. Ultra PC culture is poison

I don't get It either. If I'm a casting director and an A+ star who happens to be legitimately one of the most beautiful women on earth, Likes the script and wants to star In a film about trans people, gay people, Army people.. You let them. Sometimes PC goes to far.

There has to be limits on acting, we do not want white actors in black face for example. And LGBTQ actors have often been overlooked for their more famous cis counterparts.

She's box office poison

I feel for her. Now that's she typical white women shes not wanted in Hollywood, shes not exotic enough I guess..😪

Oh shit! The Avengers taking on Hollywood politics next? Talk about a real EndGame 😲

She should speak less it will make her age faster :/

JTT aged well

Racist

I dunno, Scar. You might want to keep your trap shut and just make movies and make bank.

Scarlett Johansson, Rethink ThisScarlett 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&39;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. Women: attacking the pretty girl for being cute/talented. Typical. You guys must have been furious about Eddie Redmayne and Jeffrey Tambour playing trans people... it is it just Scarlett 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?
