Actress Scarlett Johansson sued Disney in July over the release of her Marvel movie «Black Widow.»
Scarlett Johansson has revealed that she aims to collaborate with Disney once again, after settling her lawsuit over Black Widow ‘s streaming release. The Marvel movie was released in theaters this summer, with Disney debuting the film on its Disney+ Premier Access streaming service for $30 at the same time— leading Johansson to blame poor theater ticket sales on the latter decision. With Johansson stating that her compensation was tied to the movie’s box office performance, the actress filed a lawsuit in July against the studio giant for loss of earnings— with both sides lashing out at one another in fiery statements. However, it was announced on Thursday that Johansson has not only settled her lawsuit with Disney, but was looking forward to further projects with the studio. The terms of the settlement have not been disclosed. «I am happy to have resolved our differences with Disney,» Johansson said in a statement, per The Hollywood Reporter. «I’m incredibly proud of the work we’ve done together over the years and have greatly enjoyed my creative relationship with the team. I look forward to continuing our collaboration in years to come.» Disney Studios chairman Alan Bergman shared a more specific teaser of what’s to come, when he said in his statement: «I’m very pleased that we have been able to come to a mutual agreement with Scarlett Johansson regarding Black Widow.
