Actor Benedict Cumberbatch has given his opinion on Scarlett Johansson’s conflict with Disney over the premiere of Black Widow.
For those who do not know, they decided to release Black widow both in theaters and on the streaming platform Disney Plus (Premium access). This caused Scarlett Johansson sue the movie studio because he thinks he stopped making a lot of money. Since then, some of his colleagues from Marvel studios have given their opinion on the matter. But generally they do not want to position themselves much, since no matter how close friends they are with the actress, they cannot attack the company with which they have their contracts. Has now been Benedict Cumberbatch the one who has commented on the situation.
“It is sad what is happening between the lawyers. Just the verbiage and accusations of: Put it in a global pandemic context. Everything is a bit complicated. We are trying to understand what the revenue streams should be for the artists who contribute to the billion dollar business that is Disney. And it has to be contracted. How is an artist’s normal compensation paid with box office bonuses? How does it work? It is a new paradigm, and it is very complex. No one saw this coming, and no one should use hindsight to say: Well, it should have been done. That was the first of these films to have a theatrical release during the pandemic, and it stalled, stalled, and stalled. It is a very new territory ”. Benedict Cumberbatch commented.
The actor will soon return as Doctor Strange.
Regardless of the demand for Scarlett Johansson, Marvel Studios continues to release movies and Benedict Cumberbatch will repeat as the Sorcerer Supreme in Spider-man: No way home (2021) and then we can see it in Doctor Strange and the multiverse of madness (2022). Two deliveries that will be very successful and that will surely bring many benefits to the actors who participate in them.
