Opinion | Disney tries to make Scarlett Johansson the villain in streaming lawsuit

Just because Scarlett Johansson is rich doesn’t make her the villain in her case against the Walt Disney Co. In fact, if the allegations in her lawsuit are correct, she’s absolutely right to push back in court. Yet Disney, ever adept at storytelling and images, has tried to paint her as selfish and money-grubbing for trying to hold them to the deal she believes they made with her.

Whether someone is making $20 million per movie or $20 per hour, a deal is a deal. One party cannot breach a contract and then claim it’s OK because the injured party is rich., her compensation for her starring role in Marvel Studio’s new film “Black Widow” was to be based largely on “box office” receipts. Marvel, a subsidiary of Disney, also allegedly promised a “theatrical release,” which Johansson says meant a release exclusive to movie theaters.

Johansson claims Disney knew about these promises, but still directed Marvel to release “Black Widow” on the Disney+ streaming service the same day it was released in movie theaters.

THINK Opinion: $20 an hour is above average for us normies. Uphold the contract.

THINK They’re charging $30 plus all merchandises from the movies but the greedy is never satisfied.

THINK You haven't heard the Rock try to sue Disney when they release Jungle Cruise on Disney Plus. You know why? He's a better businessman.

THINK 635000 Americans died from Covid leaving millions grieving. Now an actress wants extra $ (reasonable) BUT complains Disney should have opened film only in theaters (unreasonable) putting countless families at risk since kids aren’t vaccinated. Grow up, self-centered Scarlet.

THINK I guess Disney won't be happy until they get *all* the money and not just *damn near all* of it.
