Scarlett Johansson and Disney have settled their lawsuit over the former’s earnings from the Marvel superhero movie Black Widow, which Johansson initiated in July over what she claimed was a breach of contract after Disney chose to release the film simultaneously in cinemas and on its Disney+ streaming platform.
Johansson launched the lawsuit after Disney opted for a “hybrid” release for Black Widow, claiming that her fees were based on the box-office performance of the film.
Alan Bergman, chairman of Disney Studios Content, confirmed the news in a statement, saying: “I’m very pleased that we have been able to come to a mutual agreement with Scarlett Johansson regarding Black Widow.
In a statement reported by a number of publications, Johansson said: “I am happy to have resolved our differences with Disney.
