Scarlett Johansson Faces Backlash from Actors and Twitter

Scarlett Johansson Faces Backlash from Actors and Twitter 


Scarlett Johansson has been facing a lot of backlash from actors and Twitter after she was cast for the role for Dante "Tex" Gill for the movie Rub & Tug. 

This is not the first time Johansson is at the center of the controversy. The actress faced a lot of backlashes before for her role as Major Mokoto Kusanagi in the movie "Ghost in the shell". 

Twitter is not happy about a female being cast for a transgender role when a lot of transgender actors could have been chosen for the role.

The actress issued a statement via her representative to Bustle saying "Tell them that they can be directed to Jeffrey Tambor, Jared Leto, and Felicity Huffman's reps for comment"  

Actresses have also voiced their anger on this controversy. 

Actress Trace Lysette said "I wouldn’t be as upset if I was getting in the same rooms as Jennifer Lawrence and Scarlett for cis roles,” she wrote. “But we know that’s not the case. A mess."


Actress Jamie Clayton said "Actors who are trans never even get to audition FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN ROLES OF TRANS CHARACTERS"
