    In Disney's response, they point out that Johansson already received $20M. I have a hard time taking sides in an argument over what uber-rich person deserves to be a little richer.
    True enough...but if she has legal proof they screwed her out of money owed her...why should anyone else get it? And if she has no case...why would she risk biting the hand that feeds her?

      The Walt Disney Company clapped back at “Black Widow” star Scarlett Johansson, slamming the actress’ breach of contract lawsuit for showing “callous disregard for the horrific and prolonged global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

      The Mouse fired back with a vengeance…

        Man, this thing got ugly quick. Of course Disney is probably ****ed that she did this very publicly WHILE the film was still in cinemas and on Premier Access.

        Going for the "callous disregard" card is a pretty low blow, though.

          Disney only cares about their bottom line. If they were concerned about others’ well beings during the COVID pandemic, they probably would have thought about all the movie theatre people who have lost their jobs during this time before releasing their product day and date in theatres and streaming. The height of hypocrisy. . . .

            Boom.

            Disney could have made any number of arguments, but to make Scarlet a villain by playing on people’s COVID fears is devilishly manipulative.

              Disney and Scarlett has settled on an agreement earlier, just a few days before Black Widow streams (Oct 6th) on the service. Also haven't seen it yet so something to look forward to soon.
