Although Scarlett Johansson's Ghost in the Shell has been widely criticized for its casting, there was much more that was wrong with the film.
Yellowface is a bad look, Hollywood
Over the years, Scarlett Johansson has become one of the most successful and respected actresses in Hollywood. However, one of the biggest mishaps of her professional life has continued to haunt her career. While she has brought about quite a bit of change when it comes to how women are portrayed on screen, especially when it comes to the superhero genre, she participated in a rather archaic practice.
In her 2017 film, Ghost in the Shell, the actress was severely criticized for playing the role of a character that should have been played by an Asian actor. Although for years this mistake has followed her career, there may be more to the reason why the film ended up failing.
If fans and critics are to be believed, the controversy surrounding the film wasn't the only reason it ended up bombing.
