Official representatives Disney reacted to the movie star’s lawsuit “Black Widow” (Black widow) Scarlett Johansson… Earlier, the Hollywood actress accused the company of violating the terms of the contract.
Johansson’s reps believe she lost about $ 50 million due to Disney’s decision release a film simultaneously in cinemas and on streaming service Disney +… The agreement spoke of an exclusive theatrical project, and the actress claimed a large percentage of the box office.
Johansson tried to discuss this issue back in 2019, when the company was just launching the platform. Disney +… but Mickey Mouse House promised to further discuss the situation with her, if necessary to make adjustments to the documents.
“Disney deliberately forced Marvel to break the agreement for no good reason in order to prevent Mrs. Johansson from realizing the full benefits of the deal.” indicated in the claim, which the “Black Widow” star has sued in Los Angeles.
Initially, Disney declined to comment, but a few hours later a press release was prepared, which became the reason for the jokes. The company claims that Johansson did not have the slightest reason for a lawsuit, because the blame is … the pandemic.
“This lawsuit is particularly saddening and saddening for us with its soulless disregard for the dire and lasting global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic,” the House of Mickey Mouse said in a statement.
Disney added that Scarlett Johansson received $ 20 million for her role, and the release of Black Widow at Disney + allegedly allowed the actress to increase her compensation. At the same time, the company did not provide any information about whether the contract with the Hollywood star was revised accordingly.
Apparently, the management of Disney is trying to play the “force majeure” card. The problem is that the film company WarnerMedia at the end of last year, she also switched to a hybrid model of distributing her films, but for some reason she did not forget to revise the current contracts with the actors.
After a public exchange of blows between the House of Mickey Mouse and Scarlett Johansson, bloggers and ordinary users began to mock the absurdity of the situation on social networks with might and main. In particular, they joke that “Disney doesn’t respect women.”
We are talking about the aggressive PR-campaign of the “Black Widow”, in which representatives of the studio Marvel turned in a hurdy-gurdy about the fight against “sexist stereotypes.” Johansson herself gave interviews about the fact that women in Hollywood are constantly underpaid.
In the end, it turned out that the actress all this time had been working for a company that discriminates against women and violates the terms of agreements. It turned out very ironic.
