She's not the only actor/actress that's actually made a complaint about the changing of the movie release method due to the pandemic, so I'm not going to knock her for it.

I believe Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake were pissed about the exact same thing when Trolls World Tour switched to on demand instead of theater release. Denzel had complaints as well with one of his films.

Yeah a bunch of people were pissed. Didn’t WB give $10M to Gal Gadot and/or Jenkins because of the HBO Max release of WW84?

Yep they both got $10 million to make up for the move to VOD, so I don't know why in the hell Marvel thought that they could get away with not renegotiating with her as well. They've forcing ESPN to get their talents to take paycuts and give up bread because of the pandemic, so they probably thought they could get away with it on the Disney side of things with no pushback.

Watch people band together to make sure this white woman gets 40 million more dollars on top of the 20 , because this shyt matters

suffering in a pandemic for a wealthy cactress is only getting 20 million dollars and another 20 million in royalties

You must not understand the concept of how contracts work if you don't think that Disney isn't wrong for what's transpiring especially considering other movie companies have paid their talent to account for the aspect of VOD :mjlol:

If they end up having to pay her more, then that's on them for not resolving the situation before releasing the movie when she tried to do so :yeshrug:

and with VOD stuff only getting more prevalent, this environment will only naturally be developed more

a lot of contracts have acts of god clauses which this would fall under. We’ll see, I’m team nobody but I’m not gonna pretend to care over rich white people money either

Yeah, Marvel probably should have worked all of this out with Scarlett before the movie was released. It's not like they didn't have time to do so with the way the movie got delayed over and over and over again.

Article said they tried Disney just blew them off
