In light of the whitewashing controversy DreamWorks has received for its adaptation of Ghost in the Shell, the movie has added an Asian actress to its cast.
Rila Fukushima, who previously appeared in 2013's Wolverine, will be joining the movie - but no word on who she'll be playing, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Ghost in the Shell has received criticism for whitewashing the original Masamune Shirow manga, especially casting Scarlett Johansson to play the Japanese lead character Kusanagi.
Additionally, DreamWorks and Paramount allegedly at once considered to include 'ethnicity-shifting' visual effects to make their white actors look Asian.
Ghost in the Shell follows Major Motoko Kusanagi, a cyborg that is part of Section 9 task force that fights cyberterrorist crimes.
Directed by Snow White and the Huntsman's Rupert Sanders, Ghost in the Shell also features Michael Pitt, Juliette Binoche and Michael Wincott.

However, Fukushima won't be the only Asian cast member. Takeshi Kitano was previously cast as Kusanagi's boss Daisuke Aramaki.
Ghost in the Shell is set to arrive in 2017.
