The Hollywood actress was to embody the transbadual head of a prostitution ring. On the other hand, criticism has increased. The role should go to a transbadual actor. Now, Johannsson takes consequences and explains himself.
H Olympic star Scarlett Johansson resembles the acerbic critique of a film role as a transgender man. The actress announced Friday its decision to the magazine "Out", which addresses mainly gay and bibadual people in the United States. According to the movie "Rub & Tug", she retires "in light of recent ethical issues" on her craft, writes Johansson. Last week, the 33-year-old man had announced that in the 1970s and 1980s, Pittsburgh was playing Dante "Tex" embodied Gill – the head of a prostitution network born Lois Jean Gill but identified as a man
Several transgender actors and their supporters offended Johansson's cast and demanded that the role return to one of their own.

In his most recent statement, however, Johansson intervened. "Our cultural understanding of transgender people is progressing and I have learned a lot from the community since I gave my first opinion about my profession," she wrote. She was now aware that she had been insensitive. She had "a lot of admiration and love for the Transgemeinde". She was grateful that the debate over their occupation triggered a broader discussion of diversity and representation in the film.
Johansson was already in criticism, because in the Japanese manga movie "Ghost in the Shell" of 2017 was a character from Asia. The director of the film, Rupert Sanders, will also direct "Rub & Tug". The question of whether the project will be implemented after the release of Johansson is not clear.
