And just so we clear this is a beef with DISNEY not Marvel Studios :mjpls:


#marvelset


And if fans care about not just this movie but all movies, they would get vaccinated. Other industries are being hurt by these new outbreaks. This wouldn’t have even been an issue if everyone got vaccinated.


The delay of this movie pushed other movies back and affected Falcon and Winter Soldier because this movie was supposed to come out before that show.


I get where Johansson is coming from, but she act like nobody lost money from this. Businesses closed permanently and people lost jobs, homes and became homeless over this pandemic and she beefing over a few extra million.


Not a good look. I’m not defending Disney on this. She basically wants points on the Disney plus package for helping drive new subscriptions. But do you really think they gonna let her win? It would mean the end of streaming as we know it. Disney should just settle out of court, give her an extra $10 milli and keep it moving.

Yea, they should have first renegotiated and now they need to settle. It's not worth the bad PR to a big conglomerate like this. They sounded stupid talking about the pandemic, they are the richer entity.

Are you really going to sit here and try to play the moral card when Disney has literally screwed over their employees and other people for years with no care or remorse in the world :dwillhuh:

Obviously she is looking to settle out of court, which was the exact reason why she tried renegotiating in the first place when they basically ignored her...........

Seems kind of arrogant on Disney's part to not think this wouldn't have been an issue. The contract should have been re-structured, probably would have been able to have the terms more favorable for them versus what that'll have to give her now.

It's exactly what WB did for Gal Gadot right before WW84. Even after they announced they was going to do it for all their films in 2021 and the filmmakers and actors initially pissed, WB restructured all of their contracts so they would avoid the situation that Disney is currently in. And what is crazy is that Disney SEEN the initial backlash WB had and didn't take any preventive measures to make sure they protect themselves from it with their own people. Now I hear Kevin Feige is pissed. That's trouble. That's as bad as Chris Nolan (which he had nothing to do with the HBOMax/same day treatrical move) pissed at WB. Disney HAVE to make this right, because they cannot lose Feige.

Marvel actually tried to fukk Stan Lee over with the First OG Spiderman film by claiming the film as a "loss" as a way out of paying him 10% based on his characters.

Like I said before, Rock might indirectly catch a stray depending on if his contract got renegotiated for Jungle Cruise to account for VOD move. That's why it's a smart move to file the lawsuit the week of Jungle Cruise release and get Emily Blunt involved in the lawsuit. Either Rock joins in on the lawsuit himself or he indirectly helps Johansson and the other women get paid. :yeshrug:
Yeah this starting to look planned. Too bad the Mouse ruins this bytch.

Big picture homie. Obviously the masses don't give a shyt about going to the movies, so they not gonna give a shyt about a hollywood actress not making a few extra million to get added to the millions she already made. It's bad optics. She probably has fans who lost their jobs over this pandemic shyt.

This has nothing to do with Disney. It's bad PR on both sides tho.

How can you say nobody gives a shyt then say it’s bad optics, if nobody gives a shyt what difference would it make? The only way ScarJo looks bad is to Marvel/Disney stans, everyone else is atleast understanding in her getting jobbed out on her original payday and if Emma Stone and others are dealing with the same issues Johansson doesn’t look like the bad guy at all. She’s coming for what she’s rightfully owed, anybody in her shoes would do the same thing

Dudes literally is trying to place blame on her in the situation when she handled it the right way before filing the lawsuit and going public :russ:

Disney didn't care about bad optics when they told the father no who wanted to get Spiderman engraved on the tombstone of his son's grave. Disney also didn't care about bad optics either when they fined a group of parents for watching The Lion King at a PTA Meeting years ago.

So why should she care about the bad optics of this situation?

And for the record I’m #marvelset


Not #disneyset


I only signed up to Disney + for the marvel shows. Even though i can get the torrent, I still want to support the studio.

Disney should’ve just cut Johansson a check and kept it moving. It did good numbers opening weekend, but that VOD killed all momentum. So yeah, they screwed her.

Unfortunately, Marvel studios is beholden to Disney. They’re the reason it now has X-Men and F4 properties back.

in the end, this will just lead to new language being put into contracts.


I know most of you would gladly pay to stay at home and stream content, but it won’t be the same. Budgets will be different.
