Dispute between Scarlett Johansson and Disney settled over 'Black Widow'
Actress Scarlett Johansson and the Walt Disney Company succeeded in settling their dispute, which sparked widespread media attention, over the release of the Black Widow movie, "Black Widow", produced by the American company "Marvel Studios" for film production.
Johansson, who plays the Black Widow in several Marvel Studios films, sued Disney in July for allegedly violating its contract with Marvel.
"I am happy to have settled our differences with Disney," Johansson said in a statement. "I am proud of the work we have done together over the years and have greatly enjoyed my creative relationship with the team. I look forward to continuing our collaboration in the years to come."
The lawsuit sparked interest in a long-running debate within Hollywood over how talent, including directors and A-list stars, should be compensated for their work when it is released to streaming services.
It is noteworthy that during the pandemic, many studios chose to show films both online and in theaters at the same time, which undermined the typical work pattern. Warner Bros. paid the artists more than $200 million after parent company Warner Media decided to broadcast all of its films on Warner's HBO Max television network at the same time as Warner Media. Show her films in theaters.
