Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson, who was severely criticized because of the decision to play a transgender, eventually abandoned this role.

According to Scarlett, she has learned a lot from the community since her first statement about work on the role, so for ethical reasons she decided not to play a female transgender.

The corresponding statement of the actress published the publication Out.

"In the light of the ethical issues that were recently discussed in connection with the choice of me for the role of Dante Gill, I decided to respectfully refuse to participate in the project. Our understanding of transgender people continues to change, and I learned a lot from the community since my first statement about work on the role, "says Johansson.

Recall that Scarlett Johansson was supposed to play Dante Jill - a woman transgender, the owner of a massage salon, who lived in Pittsburgh in the 1970s. However, the decision of the creators of the picture to take on the role of transgender Scarlett did not like the users. Like, "the world is full of beautiful female transsexuals" and it would be possible to use such a woman in filming.
