Scarlett Johansson has a long-standing professional relationship with Disney, largely through her role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In 2021, though, a dispute over the release of her film, Black Widow, led to a lawsuit. The issue was eventually resolved, and they’ve worked together since. Recently, Johansson has spoken about feeling a lack of support from fellow actors during that difficult time.
Scarlett Johansson sued Disney because they released the movie Black Widow in theaters and on their streaming service, Disney+, at the same time. This happened during the COVID-19 pandemic when fewer people were going to the movies. However, Johansson’s contract allegedly promised an exclusive release in theaters first. Disney responded by saying the lawsuit was without merit and that the simultaneous release actually increased her potential earnings.
The star of Jurassic World Rebirth has indicated she stands by her legal decisions and wouldn’t change anything she did. She did tell The Daily Telegraph that she wished more of her acting colleagues had publicly supported her during the process.
It would be really helpful to get more public support from others in the industry on issues that impact all of us. Having more people speak up is always a good thing!
Despite facing a legal battle alone, Scarlett Johansson found that speaking up could still make a difference – and it did in her case. Disney reached a settlement with her just two months after she filed the lawsuit. While the details were initially kept private, it was later revealed the settlement was worth $40 million. This whole situation highlighted how the way movies are released is changing with the evolving entertainment industry, something Johansson also discussed.
Switching from traditional box-office bonuses to a streaming model created confusion, as there were no clear rules about how it worked. Being able to influence this new system is a positive step, but I would appreciate additional resources and assistance.
It seems Scarlett Johansson is aiming to be in all the big movie franchises! News just came out that she’s in discussions to join another one, following her recent casting in The Exorcist.
Since her legal battle concluded in 2021, Johansson has often discussed the experience. In 2024, she explained she didn’t harbor any lasting resentment, attributing the conflict to bad decisions and leadership at Disney. She also felt the situation empowered her to confidently negotiate for fair compensation during a changing time in Hollywood.
Even after their disagreement, Scarlett Johansson worked with Disney on the Marvel film Thunderbolts, where she was also an executive producer. They’re currently developing a Tower of Terror movie together, and Johansson recently expressed confidence that they’ll be able to make it happen. It’s unclear why other actors didn’t publicly support her during the lawsuit, but she appears satisfied with the outcome.
