Scarlett Johansson, star of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s ‘Black Widow,’ has filed a lawsuit against Disney alleging that the company breached her contract by releasing the film on Disney+ at the same time as its theatrical debut. The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, argues that Johansson’s compensation was largely based on box office receipts from an exclusive theatrical release. By offering the film on the streaming service for a $30 rental, Disney reduced box office revenue and deprived Johansson of potential earnings. Disney has stated that there is no merit to the lawsuit, claiming that Johansson has already been paid $20 million for her work on the film. The lawsuit highlights the ongoing tensions between talent and studios over compensation in the streaming era.
