The live action reimagining of Ghost in the Shell follows Scarlett Johansson as The Major, a special ops, one-of-a-kind human-cyborg hybrid who leads the elite task force Section 9. Strong-willed, physically powerful and highly intellectual, she is known for her superhuman abilities, and skills in deduction and hacking – but struggles with her sense of identity.
The Major has a fully cybernetic body and brain, which makes her extremely rare even in the world of Ghost in the Shell, where most people have some form of cybernetic augmentation. This makes The Major an incredible asset to Section 9 – she is the ultimate in efficiency, with superhuman strength, heightened senses, and the ability to hack people’s cyber-brains – but raises unique questions about her identity and true ‘self.’
