The battle between Scarlett Johansson and Disney reached a degree in which allegedly, the company that owns Marvel would have decided that the actress would not participate in any other production, at least as long as the situation is fixed.
However, it seems that there was someone who seeks to find the benefit to the situation. According to different US media, DC would have sought the actress to offer her a position in their ranks.
The antecedent
A few days ago it was reported that Scarlett Johansson, the actress who gives life to Black Widow, decided to sue Walt Disney Co. before the Superior Court of Los Angeles, alleging that its contract was broken when Disney decided to release its latest film simultaneously in theaters and streaming.
The actress assured that within her contract it was guaranteed that the premiere of the new Black Widow movie would be exclusive in cinemas, and that his salary would be based largely on the film’s box office earnings.
The company’s lawyers responded quickly to Johansson’s lawsuit where, in an attempt to undermine the actress’s image and statements, they decided to make her salary public, to make it clear that it was not hampered by the hybrid launch. .
It should be noted that Johansson would be suing the tarón company for about 50 million dollars, claiming that he lost much more as a result of the hybrid premiere strategy, according to The Wall Street Journal.
However, this lawsuit led Disney to ensure that it would break any ties with the actress for future projects, vetoing Johansson for saying it in some way, something that DC seems to have welcomed.
Johansson and DC
This would not be the first time, and perhaps not the last, in which DC seeks to take advantage of the talent that comes out of Marvel to add it to its company, so the alleged approach to Scarlett Johansson would not be a surprise if it were a reality.
Information from We Got This Covered indicates that the hope is that Johansson will once again become a piece of the superhero world, but now with a DC uniform, although there is no further detail about the role that they are offering him specifically or if the actress has shown an interest in it.
It is clear that Johansson’s profile should be taken into account when DC wants to hire her, having a long history of success as an actress and now producer within Hollywood.
We must not forget that Johansson would not be the first person from the Marvel Cinematic Universe to make a leap to DC, one of the most controversial was that of James Gunn, who was fired from Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3, but DC found an opportunity and put him to lead its latest production: The Suicide Squad, and other projects in the works.
Currently, Gunn has assured that he is happy with the working relationship with DC in different interviews thanks to the creative freedom within the company, something that could undoubtedly be tempting for Johansson to detach from the mouse company.
Although all this continues to be an assumption, we cannot help but think that millions of fans will have already made dozens of bets to know the role of Johansson within DC, Poison Ivy perhaps?
