Scarlett Johansson and Disney have settled their breach of contract lawsuit over the release of Black Widow. The terms of the settlement have not been disclosed.
“I am happy to have resolved our differences with Disney,” said Johansson, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “I’m incredibly proud of the work we’ve done together over the years and have greatly enjoyed my creative relationship with the team. I look forward to continuing our collaboration in years to come.”
“I’m very pleased that we have been able to come to a mutual agreement with Scarlett Johansson regarding Black Widow,” said Disney Studios chairman Alan Bergman. “We appreciate her contributions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and look forward to working together on a number of upcoming projects, including Disney’s Tower of Terror.”
It was reported in July that Johansson filed a lawsuit against Disney, alleging the company breached her contract for Black Widow, her ninth and final Marvel film, by releasing the film simultaneously in theaters and on Disney+. The lawsuit filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court states that Disney and Marvel Entertainment guaranteed an exclusive theatrical release for Black Widow and that part of Johansson’s payment would be based on the film’s box office performance, which was diminished due to its release on Disney+ Premier Access.
