Ghost In The Shell: 10 Big Talking Points From The Trailer

10. Scarlett Johansson Is The Female Action Hero We Desperately Need

There’s a depressing lack of female action stars in mainstream cinema, but Scarlett Johansson seems intent on helping fix that. She’s proven to be a major asset to the MCU, where Black Widow has provided support and ass-kickings in equal measure. Johansson also helped Lucy on its way to being a huge hit, despite the strange premise.

So it’s not much of a shock she was chosen for the lead, since Hollywood likes to make safe bets. The trailer shows her looking supremely comfortable firing machine guns and throwing punches, while also have the acting chops needed to draw us into The Major’s headspace.

If the movie is a hit hopefully it will prove to studios female led action vehicles can be a thing, and that Kevin Feige needs to greenlight that solo Black Widow movie sharpish.
