Pics of Scarlett Johansson as the "Major" on-set


Regardless if you've gotten over (or not) actress Scarlett Johansson being cast as the "Major", here are a coupla snaps of her on-set while filming for the live action film - courtesy of pics via HK01 + Apple Daily (bywayof JoBlo), whom we see her amongst the street-level denizens of (perhaps) "Ghost City" (?).

WHO-IS: "Major Motoko Kusanagi is the main protagonist in Masamune Shirow's Ghost in the Shell anime and manga series. She is an augmented-cybernetic human employed as the squad leader of Public Security Section 9, a fictional law-enforcement division of the real Japanese National Public Safety Commission. Being strong-willed, physically powerful, and highly intelligent, she is well known for her skills in deduction and hacking. Kusanagi's various incarnations in the manga, movies, and TV series all portray her differently. Since each of these has an independent storyline, Kusanagi's physical and mental characteristics have been modified in different ways to reflect the focus of each respective story." (IMDb)

In the www sites and Wikipedia, it has been mentioned Scarlett is playing the "Major", but on IMDb she is listed as playing "Kusanagi".
