Scarlett Johansson vs. Disney - The Future of Movie Stars

It’s the lawsuit heard around the entertainment world. Scarlet Johansson's legal and PR battle with Disney over her Black Widow (2021) earnings is unusually public and hostile for a relationship between an actor and a studio who’ve done nine movies together. The star claims Disney breached her contract by releasing Black Widow on Disney+ at the same time as its theatrical run, thereby depriving her of millions in bonuses tied to box office milestones.

Disney’s reply to the suit was personal and viscous. The corporation’s portrait of her as a “callous” woman seems tailored to incite misogyny as a distraction from the apparent hypocrisy of suggesting she needn’t get paid during a pandemic even though Disney's stock price is on a healthy up-and-up. The emotional intensity surrounding this lawsuit signals a bigger power struggle that’s gearing up between stars and studios, as both anxiously eye a future where blockbusters increasingly live on streaming platforms.
