Disney and Scarlett Johansson have resolved their legal battle over her salary in “Black Widow,” ending a two-month fight between the media giant and one of Hollywood’s biggest stars
and Scarlett Johansson have resolved their legal battle over her salary in the movie “Black Widow,” the two sides said Thursday.
Disney countered that it was within its rights to put the movie on Disney+ per its agreement with Ms. Johansson and that it did so because of the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on the theatrical business. Disney had called the suit “especially sad and distressing in its callous disregard for the horrific and prolonged global effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.”
Ms. Johansson said she was happy to resolve the dispute and is “incredibly proud of the work we’ve done together over the years and have greatly enjoyed my creative relationship with the team.” The lawsuit became another test for Disney Chief Executive Bob Chapek, who succeeded Robert Iger in the top job in 2020 and has contended with the pandemic, park closures and cruise-line shutdowns. Disney’s initial response to the actress’s suit rallied support from her fellow actors and women’s advocacy groups in Hollywood, who called Disney’s “callous disregard” response an unfair characterization. There was also an outcry over Disney’s disclosure of her $20 million salary for “Black Widow.
