More than a month ago, Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson became a mother for the second time, and she and her third husband, Colin Jost, welcomed their first child. However, the widow's birth was not very peaceful, and her salary lawsuit with Disney in the third trimester of pregnancy once became the focus. Now, after 2 months, the lawsuit has finally settled, and the two sides have issued a statement saying that they have settled.
The movie "Black Widow" starring Scarlett Johansson finally landed in theaters and streaming platforms this summer. However, two weeks after the film's release, Scarlett took the "old guy" Disney to court because of the box office dividend. She believes that the listing of "Black Widow" on the streaming disney+ platform has greatly affected her earnings, violating the original contract content that was "only released in theaters".
The two sides did not give in to each other, Disney strongly said that Scarlett "disregarded the global epidemic and questioned her lack of sufficient awareness and sensitivity to the epidemic", and Scarlett Johansson was supported by the Screen Actors Guild of America, choking Disney: "I should feel ashamed." There are also reports that Marvel President Kevin Feige is also sandwiched between the two sides, quite embarrassing, on the one hand, supporting Scarlett, but also hoping that the two sides will reconcile.
Two months after the incident, Scarlett Johansson recently issued another statement, saying: "I am very happy to resolve my differences with Disney, we have worked together for many years and are very proud of the results of both sides." I also enjoy working with the team and look forward to continuing to work together in the future. Disney also said that the two sides have reached a consensus that there may be cooperation on other projects in the near future.
In this regard, netizens have different attitudes. In addition to the netizens who congratulated the "widow sister" on her victory, some netizens said that all this really looked like Disney was attacking Scarlett at the time, and there was a suspicion of "making a show". According to foreign media "Deadline" reports, the two sides did not disclose the amount of the settlement, but some insiders revealed that the settlement amount between the two sides exceeded 40 million US dollars, and this "settlement money" is likely to equal the "widow sister" because of the 50 million US dollars of box office dividends lost by "Black Widow".
