Scarlett Johansson is a lethal vision as bodysuit-wearing, cyber-enhanced soldier The Major in Ghost in the Shell, climbing the walls to take out an impressive line of foes.

This exclusive, behind-the-scenes clip from the sci-fi film's digital HD release (July 7) shows how Johansson and stunt double Carly Rees shared the wire work.

Johansson holds her own in the air after working six months before filming began.

"She’s way more physical than we imagined she would be,"  says stunt coordinator Glenn Suter. "We’ve been able to use her a lot in her action sequences."

Compare the set clip to the actual finished action shown in the film's trailer below. It makes it clear why Johansson (aka Black Widow in the Marvel franchise), is one of the most sought-after action stars in the world.
