'Ghost in the Shell' Casts Rila Fukushima, But Scarlett Johansson Still Stars
The forthcoming live-action adaptation of anime favorite Ghost in the Shell has garnered no small amount of criticism. The film's casting, which includes Scarlett Johannson's starring role as Major Motoko Kusanagi has spurred accusations of whitewashing from basically anyone familiar with the anime franchise.
But the casting trajectory—which so far includes a predominantly white cast—seems to be taking small steps to include more asian actors. Via The Hollywood Reporter, we learn that Rila Fukushima will appear in the film, but that she won't replace Johannson, who remains firmly in her place as the female lead.
