Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson (33) jumped out of the movie "Rub & Tug" after a long controversy. In the biopic, directed by Rupert Sanders, she was to play Dante Gill, who played in the 1970s at Pittsburgh Underworld. Gill was a Transman, born with female body traits that felt like a man.

The magazine "Out" told Johansson on Friday that she respects and loves the transgender community and that his casting in this role was "insensitive". She understands the activists' criticism that rare roles like these should go to a trans-actor. It's important to talk about inclusion, said Johansson. The actress Trace Lysette ("Transparent") was one of the many people who had criticized the cast of roles.
Hollywood productions are often accused of making roles and characters from other cultures to a white audience by "whitening" them. A similar dispute recently arose around the movie "Ghost in the Shell", in which Johansson was playing a Japanese manga heroine with a black wig.
