Johansson VS Disney Lawsuit
We’d summarize the whole incident for our readers. First, Johansson’s attorneys recently filed a lawsuit against Disney over the purchase of Black Widow. In July 2021, Johansson moved to court to file a lawsuit as Black Widow, which was her final and ninth installment of being a part of Marvel films, was suddenly announced to be released on Disney+ and Marvel. Earlier, Disney and Marvel Entertainment both agreed to an exclusive release of the films in theatres but later backed off. This breached the contract between Johansson and Disney.
Ultimately she had to suffer a great financial loss and filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court. After this whole incident, Disney came forward and said that this is a disregard of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and that the film’s release on Disney+ made Johansson earn an additional $20M.
The project is a part of the deal for Johansson after she filed a lawsuit against Disney Studios due to the contract breach between Disney+ release of her movie- Black Widow. The movie will not be released on Netflix as it is an Apple Studios work. The release date, plot, and other cast members haven’t been confirmed yet as it is still under talks. We’ll add information to the article as soon as we receive other updates.
