Scarlett Johansson is set to star in 'Rub & Tug'.

The 33-year-old actress has reportedly been cast as a mob-connected massage parlour owner - who was a woman but lived life as a man - in the forthcoming movie.

The movie will see Johansson reunite with director Rupert Sanders - who she worked with in 'Ghost in the Shell' - as he leads from a script by Gary Spinelli.

It's not yet known when the movie will go into production as Johansson is currently filming 'JoJo Rabbit' and is attached to play Black Widow in a standalone movie.
