Scarlett Johansson and Disney Make Peace and Resolve BLACK WIDOW Lawsuit
I’m sure you all remember that Scarlett Johansson sued Disney over Black Widow, claiming there was a breach of contract when they ended up releasing the film on Disney+.
Disney initially dismissed the suit saying that there’s no merit to Johansson’s claims, but her agents and attorneys believed otherwise, and they pressed forward with everything.
Well, days after the first court hearing took place, Johansson and Disney decided to settle the case. Johansson said in a statement:
“I am happy to have resolved our differences with Disney. 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.”
Alan Bergman, Chairman, Disney Studios Content added:
“I’m very pleased that we have been able to come to a mutual agreement with Scarlett Johansson regarding Black Widow. We appreciate her contributions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and look forward to working together on a number of upcoming projects, including Disney’s Tower of Terror.”
So, it looks like all is well with Disney and Johansson and those reports of her being dropped from Tower of Terror were full of crap. I’m glad they worked everything out, and I’m sure they will continue to have a strong relationship from here on out.
