Leaked Images From GHOST IN THE SHELL Show Scarlett Johansson And The Rest Of Section 9 In Costume
We've seen a handful of low quality Ghost in the Shell set photos, but new images have found their way online, offering up a look at Scarlett Johansson as The Major, Pilou Asbæk as Batou, and more.
The upcoming live-action take on Ghost in the Shell has generated a fair bit of controversy among whitewashing accusations, but our first proper look at the movie's diverse cast has been revealed via Crunchyroll. Pictured below are The Major (Scarlett Johansson), Ishikawa (Lasarus Ratuere), Togusa (Chin Han), Saito (Yutaka Izumihara), Borma (Tawanda Manyimo), Batou (Pilou Asbæk), and Aramaki (Takeshi Kitano). With any luck, some official high quality versions of these will follow soon.
Ghost in the Shell has been in the works for a while and follows the Major, a special ops, one-of-a-kind human-cyborg hybrid, who leads the elite task force Section 9. Devoted to stopping the most dangerous criminals and extremists, Section 9 is faced with an enemy whose singular goal is to wipe out Hanka Robotic’s advancements in cyber technology. Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman) is directing the movie, and it’s currently set to be released on March 31st, 2017.
