Scarlett Johansson is involved in yet another casting controversy. According to The Hollywood Reporter the Avengers actress is reuniting with Ghost in the Shell director, Rupert Sanders for the new film Rub & Tug. The movie is based on the real-life story of Dante ?Tex? Gill a transgender massage parlour owner. Gill identified as male, so cisgender female actress Scarlett?s casting is problematic for the trans community. After backlash Johansson tells Bustle, ?Tell them that they can be directed to Jeffrey Tambor, Jared Leto, and Felicity Huffman?s reps for comment.?
