The movie originally drew accusations of whitewashing when Scarlett Johansson was cast as Major.
Ghost in the Shell is a massively popular Japanese manga, anime movie, and animated series featuring stories that revolve around counter-cyberterrorism group known as “Section 9”, and one its agents Major Motoko Kusanagiof.
Ghost in the Shell appears set to wrap up a jam-packed March 2017, which is already off to a strong start thanks to a huge first weekend for Logan.
The movie has already drawn a good level of buzz on social media, and while much of that could be attributed to the controversy, there’s no denying some people are excited for it.
