Scarlett Johansson's casting may have initially received some backlash over perceived whitewashing - though in Japan it was met more with a shrug, believing it to be more about the theme of self-identity - but there's no denying she's a talented actress, and perhaps the most suited (in Hollywood, anyway) to the role.

Based on the Japanese manga, it'll focus on Johansson's cyborg policewoman and her task force, as they attempt to bring down a nefarious computer hacker. Quite how it'll work as a live-action remains to be seen, but it should look impressive at the very least.

Release Date: 31 March
