Now it has been the lawyers of actress Scarlett Johansson who have reacted in this conflict they have with Disney.
This week we have learned that Scarlett Johansson has sued Disney because the premiere of Black widow has been in cinemas and the platform Disney Plus at once. This has caused them to breach their contract and the actress to lose money. For now, it appears that the matter is getting bigger rather than both sides finding a solution. Especially since there are more and more cross statements.
This is the latest statement from Bryan Lourd, the actress’s agent.
“I want to refer to the statement of the Walt Disney Company that was issued in response to the lawsuit filed against it by our client Scarlett Johansson. They have shamelessly and falsely accused Ms Johansson of being insensitive to the global COVID pandemic, in an attempt to make her look like someone they and I know she is not. “
“Scarlett Johansson has been a Disney partner on nine films, which have earned Disney and its shareholders billions. The company included her salary in its press release in an attempt to weaponize her success as an artist and entrepreneur, as if that was something she should be ashamed of. Scarlett is extremely proud of the work that she and all the actors, writers, directors, producers and the creative team at Marvel Studios have been a part of for more than a decade. “
“This lawsuit was filed as a result of Disney’s decision to knowingly violate Scarlett Johansson’s contract. They have deliberately shifted the revenue stream and profits to the company’s Disney Plus side, leaving artistic and financial partners out of their new equation. That’s it, pure and simple.
“Disney’s direct attack on his character, and everything else, falls short of the company that many of us in the creative community have successfully worked with for decades.”
In addition, another of Disney’s decisions is to paralyze the new project Scarlett Johansson which was about the Tower of Terror. Hopefully everything is resolved soon, while we can enjoy the movies of Marvel studios in which the actress has participated in the Disney Plus streaming platform.
