Skin tight! Scarlett Johansson, 32, is seen in the unforgiving costume, in a sneak peek of her new movie Ghost In The Shell, which debuted on Thursday

The voiceover is heard: 'They did not save your life — they stole it.'

Playing the human-cyborg hybrid, who is part of a covert ops unit of elite task force Section 9, Scarlett wears invisible armor otherwise known as a thermoptic suit.

'Actually, I was kind of scared of the thermoptic suit. I thought that it was going to be, I don't know, extremely uncomfortable,' Scarlett said during the Nerdist Twitter Q&A on Saturday.

'It wasn't the most comfortable, but it wasn't unlike wearing the Black Widow suit. It actually moved a little bit better. It was okay. Although, it was hot when you didn't want it to be and cold when you wanted to be warm, so that was the only unfortunate part.'

Tight fit! Playing the human-cyborg hybrid, who is part of a covert ops unit of elite task force Section 9, Scarlett wears invisible armor otherwise known as a thermoptic suit

When the Danish and Polish-descended actress was first cast, fans and media action groups accused producers of 'whitewashing' the iconically Japanese character. 

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. star Ming-Na Wen condemned Johansson's casting in April as 'whitewashing of Asian role.'

And Fresh Off the Boat star Constance Wu worried it 'reduced race to mere phys appearance as opposed to say culture, social experience, identity, history.' 
 

Coming soon: Ghost in the Shell is scheduled for release on March 31

Ghost in the Shell director Rupert Sanders defended casting the Captain America actress due to her 'baked in cyberpunk aesthetic.'

'I think whenever you cast someone someone's going to be critical about it,' the 45-year-old filmmaker said onstage Tokyo's Tabloid.

'To me it was, you know, I stand by my decision - she's the best actress of her generation and I was flattered and honored that she would be in this film. So many people who were around the original anime have been vehemently in support of her because she's incredible and there are very few like her.'  

Ghost in the Shell is scheduled for release on March 31.
