this deserves my nikka @MeachTheMonster
According to the complaint, Ms. Johansson’s representatives sought to renegotiate her contract after learning of the dual-release strategy for “Black Widow,” which she has said is her ninth and last Marvel movie.
Disney and Marvel were unresponsive, the suit said. The decision to put the movie on Disney+ is projected to cost Ms. Johansson more than $50 million, a person familiar with details of her contract claimed.
Sounds like her issue is contract terms, they originally agreed on her percentage coming from a theatrical-only release. They went the dual theatrical/streaming route but never renegotiated with her, basically finessed her out of millions
yup, Mickey fleeced her.

Kind of a depressing way to end your 11 year tenure at Disney/Marvel, so best of luck to her in getting some of that money. It'd be nice to see someone knock Disney on their ass, but I doubt that'll happen.

I guess this is it... she is officially done with marvel/disney
If they breached the contract or didn't oblige by it, then they owe her the bread. It's that simple
Who Disney is in this situation or her future aspirations are irrelevant to the situation at hand. Let someone swindle you out of a contract you're locked into and see how'd you react. You'd be ready to sue as well
they can easily get out of it saying that they DID do a theatrical release and not just streaming day 1. they didn't break the contract in technicality. and you know how legal mumbo jumbo goes. couple in covid and what leg does she have to stand on. Again, they did release it theatrically.
man, covid fukked up everyone's money. she ain't special.
Head over to Paramount for Transformers 6 or be Poison Ivy in the new Batman series or something.
Theaters have years before they get back to pre-covid levels. Get down or lay down.

Who gives a fukk.
as being hyperbolic
i'm sure she didn't expect endgame #'s...at least I'd hope she wasn't
Cap Marvel #'s seem unrealistic too
Pretty much. If there was no COVID then maybe she could at least have some hope of doing something close to Cap Marvel numbers (and that still might be a stretch), but as things are? No way.
A lot of people still aren't trying to go back to theaters yet regardless of them being open, it is what it is. I can understand her being annoyed her movie had to drop in a bad year, but them's the breaks.

At least this ain't a Gina Carano situation
Ehhh they technically don't have a case if the contract didn't account for VOD release that could potentially mess up the backend and profits of the deal. That's where JT and Anna Kendrick had a valid complaint. A lot of those movies companies changed up the release method after the pandemic and didn't bother to renegotiate with their talents to account for it.
It would be the same situation with RDJ as I believe they owed him 8% of the total profits from the Endgame
