Disney CEO Bob Chapek, speaking at a virtual Goldman Sachs conference, acknowledged tensions over talent deals.

” after Disney released the Marvel movie on the Disney+ streaming service the same day it arrived in theaters. Disney maintains that it properly paid Johansson for movie sales on Disney+, and that its pivot in release strategy was due to the pandemic, which has accelerated changes in consumer behavior.. Her team wants the case tried in open court.

The problem, Chapek said, is that the company has found itself grappling with talent contracts that were struck three or four years ago — long before the race to streaming and before the COVID-19 pandemic upended Hollywood. Johansson’s deal was fashioned in 2017. “We are just figuring out our way to bridge the gap,” he added. “But ultimately, we believe that our talent is our most important asset. And, as we always have, we will compensate them fairly per the terms of the contracts that they agreed to.”
