Marvel's Kevin Feige Reportedly 'Angry and Embarrassed' at Disney Over Scarlett Johansson Lawsuit

Post by FlyingPenguin »

Yeah, she's a rich actress, but there are other less famous and less well paid actors in that production, and other films, made around the same time, who don't have her clout, and probably got screwed as well. Any new contracts I'm sure include streaming now.

Legally she has a case. Her contract was written before Disney+ ever existed. Disney should have either released the movie in theaters first, as the contract assumed, or renegotiated the contract.

Certainly Disney could have settled all this quietly behind closed doors, instead of being dicks about it.

And now the president of Marvel is taking her side, so yeah, nice PR fiasco Disney.

Movie's good, BTW, if you haven't seen it. Entertaining action romp. Nothing deep, but I don't expect deep from a Marvel film.

Both my wife and I found it boring. I think it would have been better if she played more of a spy role. I'm glad we did not spend the $ to see it.
