Scarlett Johansson Breaks Silence on Her Lawsuit Against Disney: “I was incredibly disappointed”
Scarlett Johansson last appeared in the MCU in 2021’s ‘Black Widow,’ directed by Cate Shortland. The film stars Johansson in the lead role, alongside Florence Pugh, David Harbour, and Rachel Weisz. ‘Black Widow’ follows Natasha as she confronts her past and teams up with her estranged “family” to dismantle the villainous organization known as the Red Room.
The movie was acclaimed for its action sequences, character development, and performances, particularly those of Johansson and Pugh. However, it also sparked a contentious legal battle between the actress and the studio. In July 2021, Scarlett Johansson filed a lawsuit against The Walt Disney Company, citing breach of contract concerning the movie’s release.
Johansson asserted that Disney’s choice to release the film simultaneously in theaters and on the Disney+ streaming platform, through its Premier Access program, breached her contract, which linked her compensation directly to theatrical box office performance.
