The Marvel Cinematic Universe actress took action after Black Widow was released on Disney+, with a lawsuit filed to court claiming her contract guaranteed an exclusive theatrical release.

The 36-year-old star of the latest Marvel blockbuster said her contract guaranteed an exclusive theatrical release, according to the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday.“Disney intentionally induced Marvel’s breach of the agreement, without justification, in order to prevent Ms. Johansson from realising the full benefit of her bargain with Marvel,” the lawsuit said, as first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
