Fans of Japanese anime have been eagerly anticipating the upcoming live-action adaptation of Ghost in the Shell, directed by Rupert Sanders and featuring the talented actress Scarlett Johansson.
After a long wait and several teasers, the official trailer for the film has finally been released. Despite mixed reactions to the earlier promotional materials, this new trailer for Ghost in the Shell has generated significant excitement among fans.
The trailer showcases a futuristic Japan where technology has evolved, blending vibrant visuals with iconic characters from the original anime. The action sequences, alongside the representation of characters reminiscent of the anime version, have been well-executed, though some fans have expressed mixed feelings about the main character’s portrayal.
Previously, Scarlett Johansson faced backlash from certain fans regarding her casting, as they felt her portrayal of a strong character like Black Widow did not align with the expectations for Major Motoko Kusanagi. In this trailer, her character is depicted in a striking manner, wearing a gray outfit that complements the high-octane action scenes.
Fans were disappointed by the portrayal of Scarlett Johansson’s waist, which did not fit their expectations.
According to fan comments, some felt that Scarlett Johansson’s portrayal of her character did not meet their expectations, particularly regarding her waist’s appearance. They criticized the choice of camera angles, suggesting that it made her look less appealing and, consequently, more overweight.
Overall, the reactions to this trailer have been mixed, with many fans expressing disappointment and concern regarding the film’s quality. One fan humorously remarked that after watching the trailer, they felt it resembled a steroid-infused version of Blade Runner rather than a true adaptation of Ghost in the Shell.
