Marvel fans are showing their support for Scarlett Johansson as her Black Widow lawsuit unfolds. Earlier today, news broke of the MCU actress filing a suit in Los Angeles Superior Court. The Black Widow star’s representation argues that the release of the movie on Disney+ Premiere Access helped facilitate a breach of contract. John Berlinski is an attorney at Kasowitz Benson Torres LLP which represents Johansson. They are quoted in the Wall Street Journal as saying, “This will surely not be the last case where Hollywood talent stands up to Disney and makes it clear that, whatever the company may pretend, it has a legal obligation to honor its contracts.”

Scarlett Johansson suing Marvel is a terrible look for Disney. They really should renegotiate these deals as they didnโt reflect the companyโs enormous shift to streaming. The thing is Disney still benefits from the shift but the talent doesnโt.

Disney has since published its response to the suit and seemed very intent on not backing down.
Their statement reads, “There is no merit whatsoever to this filing. The lawsuit is especially sad and distressing in its callous disregard for the horrific and prolonged global effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Disney has fully complied with Ms. Johansson’s contract and furthermore, the release of Black Widow on Disney+ with Premier Access has significantly enhanced her ability to earn additional compensation on top of the $20M she has received to date.”

Takes on a different light
the fact scarlett sat through the entire press tour with a smile on her face promoting the movie she waited years for and was so proud of while being treated like sh*t behind closed doors by disney is honestly just making me sad now ๐

Some more context
now we know why scarlett doesnโt have much promotion for her own movie just like florence did and also she did not go to black widow premiere hmmm it makes sense now
