According to Johansson, she had withdrawn her participation in the said film after people raised ethical questions about her role as Dante “Tex” Gill. She also stated that the understanding of the transgender community continues to go forward and she realized that her first statement about her casting was, in fact, insensitive.

Johansson went on by saying that she has great love and admiration for the transgender community.

Originally, Johansson had the lead in the upcoming film Rub & Tug as she would play the lead role of Dante “Tex” Gill who was a trans man. The BBC explained that Gill was a “Pittsburgh crime boss” born as a woman but identified himself as a man, even asking others to refer to him as “Mr. Gill.”

When the news of Johansson’s casting came out, the internet quickly reacted. A lot of people called for a trans man to play the lead role instead.

Sadly, this isn’t the first time Johansson sparked controversy because of a film role. She also received criticism for whitewashing her character in the film Ghost in the Shell.

According to Robert Galbraith’s Twitter account, the next installment in the Corcoran Strike book series, rather aptly titled Lethal White, will be released on 18 September this year. The book will follow the three previously published books – The Cuckoo’s Calling, The Silkworm and Career of Evil – and their story of a private investigator Corcoran Strike and his attempts to solve mysteries alongside his assistant, Robin Ellacoat.

Lethal White will follow the pair as they unravel the mysteries surrounding a crime witnessed by Billy, a troubled young man. According to Little, Brown, the book’s publisher, the story is full of twists, some of which will involve London’s backstreets and a secret location inside the British Parliament.

Along with a striking green cover of the book, the author also announced that the books can now be pre-ordered.

Bruno Mars had to step off the stage as the stagehands rushed to assess the situation. Videos later posted on the internet show them in action, trying to smother the flames. Luckily, the break didn’t continue indefinitely.

The stage crew was able to extinguish the fire within 10 minutes, allowing him to get back on stage. Fans quickly posted their relief over his quick return on social media, minutes after they’d expressed frustration over what was happening.

On return, the Grammy winner charmed the audience with an impromptu rendition of “We burned the stage down in Glasgow” before blowing up the audience again with a slew of his other hits, including “Uptown Funk”, “Grenade” and “24K Magic.”

The Bruno Mars UK tour is expected to continue with an appearance at the British Summer Time Festival and further dates in Dublin.

The Shade Room posted the video of the rapper proposing. Chance got down on one knee and proposed to Kirsten. The couple is parents to a daughter named Kensli who is now 2 years old.

In the video, you will hear their friends and family screaming with joy and excitement as Chance reached up to Kirsten, held her hand, and said his piece. The rapper, whose actual name is Chancellor Jonathan Bennett, then called over their daughter.

They then took a photo where the little girl had her arms on Chance while his new fiance adjusted her engagement ring. In another photo, Kirsten proudly shows-off her new bling which has a huge solitaire diamond.

Later, the rapper confirmed their happy news on Twitter by simply tweeting “She said yes.” Also, the couple’s family and friends shared some photos of the newly-engaged and happy couple on social media. Chance and his now- fiancée had started dating back in 2013. However, their relationship had been quite turbulent from the start.

In February of 2016, Kirsten filed legal documents to declare that Chance was, in fact, Kensli’s father. However, she also asked to be the “sole caretaker” of their daughter and requested Chance to pay child support. Still, they managed to stay together over the years and are now planning to make their relationship official.

David Leitch, the director of the wildly successful “Deadpool 2” is also on-board along with Johnson and Statham. The pair will reprise their roles from the “Fast and Furious” movies as Johnson plays special agent Luke Hobbs and Statham plays Deckard Shaw, the criminal mastermind. Kirby, on the other hand, will play the role of Shaw’s sister who is an agent of MI-5.

Chris Morgan, the architect of “Fast and Furious” wrote the script and production of the film will start this fall. The details of the plot are still vague but the main idea is that the duo who are usually at-odds will team up. Neal Moritz, the producer of “Fast and Furious” will also produce this film.

Mark Sourian, the Executive VP of Production, along with VP Jay Polidoro will oversee the film’s production at Universal. Since Johnson arrived at the fifth installment of the franchise, Universal kept on trying to find a way for the character to star in a standalone movie. When they saw the great chemistry between Johnson’s characyer and Statham’s in the 7th film, they saw the chance to come up with a potential spinoff. “Hobbs and Shaw” will hit the theaters on July 26, 2019.

Deadline reported the news on Monday that New Regency won at the auction for Rub & Tug, a movie based on a true story. The film is about Dante “Tex” Gill who prospered in the prostitution and massage parlor business in the 1970s and the 1980s in Pittsburgh.

In the film, Johansson will play the role of Gill, a transgender man born as Lois Jean Gill. After the news came out, backlash arose quickly at the very idea that Johansson would play the role of a transgender man.

When asked to make a comment on the public’s reaction to the role she will play in Rub & Tug, Johansson’s rep responded quite flippantly. Apparently, her rep told Bustle that these people may direct their comments to Jared Leto, Felicity Huffman, and Jeffrey Tambor’s reps.

This comment completely disregarded the fact that casting transgender actors for a transgender role creates lesser opportunities for all the trans actors out there.
