"Agreement, 47.5 billion...Scarlet Johansson drops 'Black Widow' pay lawsuit with Walt Disney Pictures in dramatic reconciliation
Hollywood star Scarlet Johansson has decided to drop the lawsuit over the 'Black Widow' payroll, ending a conflict with Walt Walt Disney Pictures.
The court-martial conflict over the Marvel film "Black Widow" guarantee by Scarlet Johansson and distributor Walt Disney Pictures was concluded under mutual agreement, according to foreign media reports on September 30 (local time).
Earlier in July, Scarlet Johansson's defense attorneys filed a lawsuit in the Los Angeles High Court and claimed that "a bonus of 50 million Family Dollar (about KRW 57.3 billion) was lost when Walt Disney Pictures decided to release 'Black Widow', which was only supposed to be released in theaters, simultaneously to OTT Walt Disney Pictures Plus."
Scarlet Johansson said, "Walt Disney Pictures Plus has been hit by the review, including the performance fee and running guarantee." Walt Disney Pictures attacked him as "a selfish actor."
With both sides' positions strained, a dramatic settlement was successful: Scarlet Johansson said: "We are delighted to resolve the conflict with Walt Disney Pictures. I am very proud and happy about the work we have done over the years, and I look forward to continuing to be together. "
Alan Bergman, president of Walt Disney Pictures content, also said: "We are very pleased to be able to reach a mutual agreement with Scarlet Johansson. I appreciate the contribution to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and look forward to working with us on many projects that are coming up."
They did not disclose details of the agreement, but reported on the 1st that the foreign media would have reached an agreement of 40 million Family Dollar (about 47.48 billion won).
