Scarlett Johansson VS Disney+ dispute is finally over
Scarlett Johansson, who is well known for playing “Black Widow” in MCU sued Disney in July, accusing the entertainment giant of breaching her contract when the company offered the movie on its subscription streaming service Disney+ at the same time the film was playing in theaters.
Johansson’s complaint, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, argued that the dual-release strategy for “Black Widow” had reduced her compensation, which she said was to be based in part on box office receipts from an exclusive run in cinemas.
Disney responded by issuing an statement that there was “no merit” to the lawsuit and asserted that the studio had complied with terms of Scarlet Johansson’s contract
On Thursday, the actress and Disney resolved their dispute over the lawsuit that Johansson filed against the company in July. The lawsuit alleged Disney (DIS) breached her contract by releasing “Black Widow,” a Marvel film starring the actress, on Disney+ on the same day it was released in theatres.
