Ghost in a Shell star Scarlett Johannson confessed she is also a gamer although not in the big sense of the word. In a recent interview to promote her upcoming movie, they ventured into the topic of games and the actress revealed what her favorite game is.
She said that her favorite game is Mario Kart but she did not specify which one. Does she like Double Dash, Mario Kart 8, or Super Circuit? When asked who her favorite character is she said Toad because of his cuteness.
Aside from that, she also said that her favorite karaoke song is "New York State of Mind," as she "slays every time." However, when pressed which between the Black Widow and Major from Ghost in the Shell character would win in a fight, she laughed but answered that it would be like Sophie's choice. Both are good and it's difficult to choose.
In another interview, she is also thankful for her training as the Black Widow in Marvel's The Avengers because it prepared her for her role as the cyberpunk queen in Ghost in a Shell. The trailer gives viewers a clue that there will definitely be some high-powered action involved.
"I did a lot of training, just because I wanted to be able to have the physical presence of someone who is entirely capable. And then, of course, I had to actually be kind of capable. Luckily I have had a lot of fight training and weapons training for all those little Marvel movies, so it actually comes in quite handy because it builds this vocabulary. And then did I lot of, you know, a lot of repetition and then a lot of tactical training, which I’d never done before – with room clearing and all that stuff, to just be as efficient with the weapons as possible," she said.
