One of Hollywood’s most contentious, high-stakes lawsuits of late—between Marvel star Scarlett Johansson and Disney, within the wake of Black Widow’s launch on Disney+—has been settled. The go well with, filed in late July, alleged that the pivot to each theatrical and streaming releases (through Disney+’s “Premiere Access”) violated Johansson’s contract, which assured that the movie would get an unique theatrical launch—and allegedly triggered the actor to lose tens of tens of millions of {dollars} because of this. Unsurprisingly, the feud grabbed headlines and resulted in back-and-forth exchanges within the media till Disney moved to settle the contract dispute in a personal setting. It appears that’s precisely what occurred.

And, apparently, everyone seems to be joyful, no less than when talking to the press. The Hollywood Reporter quotes Johansson as saying “I am happy to have resolved our differences with Disney. I’m incredibly proud of the work we’ve done together over the years and have greatly enjoyed my creative relationship with the team. I look forward to continuing our collaboration in years to come.”

In case you’re questioning “Wait, she’s gonna work with Disney again why?” (particularly after the corporate known as out her “callous disregard” for the circumstances surrounding the covid-19 pandemic that led to Black Widow’s delayed and eventual streaming launch, and revealed she’d pulled down a wage of $20 million on Black Widow), THR additionally has a quote from Disney Studios chairman Alan Bergman that reminds us there have been already collaborations within the works previous to the wage dispute: “I’m very pleased that we have been able to come to a mutual agreement with Scarlett Johansson regarding Black Widow. We appreciate her contributions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and look forward to working together on a number of upcoming projects, including Disney’s Tower of Terror.”

We’d virtually forgotten about that Tower of Terror film, which was reported again in June as a car for Johansson (in addition to the House of Mouse theme parks, because it’ll be based mostly on Disney’s no-longer-in-existence Twilight Zone-impressed experience). Surely that one venture wasn’t sufficient for Disney to fork over main bucks to maintain one film star joyful—as THR notes, “terms of the deal were not disclosed,” however presumably there have been loads of zeroes. However, perhaps the corporate sought to clean issues over with Johansson, the one star (thus far) to sue over a perceived contract violation because of the shifting theatrical landscape introduced on by the pandemic, while it figures out easy methods to greatest method movie releases, together with making certain honest payouts for all concerned, transferring ahead.
