Black Widow actress Scarlett Johansson is suing Disney over the dual release of the movie in theaters and on the Disney Plus streaming platform, citing a breach of contract. Disney, meanwhile, has issued a strong response, saying there s no merit to the lawsuit.
This is per the Wall Street Journal, which says Johansson filed the lawsuit on Thursday, July 29, in the Los Angeles Superior Court. Johansson s suit says she was guaranteed an exclusive theatrical release for Black Widow, with her salary being based on how the film performed.
The outlet quotes the following from the lawsuit. Disney intentionally induced Marvel’s breach of the agreement, without justification, in order to prevent Ms. Johansson from realizing the full benefit of her bargain with Marvel.
