Scarlett Johansson Is Suing Disney Over The 'Black Widow' Release—And Disney Just Fired Back

You know I really do get the issue. Disney charged more than the Theatres to see that movie and I know she got a cut of that money also

Regardless of whether she\u2019s rich or not. If you had an agreement and contract in place about compensation tied to certain parameters and then your company doesn\u2019t honor that arrangement, you all would be pissed off as well, regardless of how much money you already have.

Although she has every right to take legal steps, I just wonder after an initial 20 MILLION salary from the mouse for the movie, a question I need to ask is, at what point will you be satisfied? How many more millions in pay?

Doesn't D+ charge something ridiculous like $30 to watch a new release on the platform? It's not like it's free and I can't imagine she isn't getting a cut of that (I have no idea). Also. Disney/Marvel probably did promise theatre exclusively, but there's this COVID thing.

Disney, when you say "callous disregard", maybe you should think about those theme parks you currently have open.https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1420858831119081474\u00a0\u2026

Disney lashing back at an actress who's merely fighting for what she was owed and promised by calling her greedy and making her seem insensitive to the pandemic may be the most male thing that's happened anywhere ever.https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1420858831119081474\u00a0\u2026

Cool. Can they at least pay the creators for making millions off their work, then? Since it's a pandemic and many of them lost comics gigs and all?\n\nThanks.https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1420858831119081474\u00a0\u2026

Hey @Disney, nice work using a plague that killed upwards of 600,000 Americans as an excuse for screwing an actress out of money.https://twitter.com/variety/status/1420858831119081474\u00a0\u2026

If someone sues you for breach of contract, and you respond with an angry tirade about covid, you absolutely breached contract.https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1420858831119081474\u00a0\u2026
