Scarlett Johansson arrives at the world premiere of 'Avengers: Infinity War' in Los Angeles in April. Johansson's plans to portray a transgender man has sparked a backlash from many who object to cisgender actors playing trans roles. Earlier this week, Johansson was announced to star in the film 'Rub & Tug,' about prostitution ring leader Dante 'Tex' Gill,' who was born Lois Jean Gill but identified as a man. Since then, many transgender actors and advocates have criticized the production for Johansson's casting. | JORDAN STRAUSS / INVISION / VIA AP
