Scarlett Johansson's 'Black Widow' lawsuit against Disney could remake studio-talent deals in the streaming era, top Hollywood attorneys say
that WarnerMedia shelled out more than $200 million to make good with its talent.
"If you really can sidestep the arbitration clause and reach both a judge and a highly public audience by bringing a case in court — a case that would probably be heard if it goes to trial by a jury as Johansson has demanded — that certainly is a great spur," he said. Playing to public sentiment, Disney released a statement that the lawsuit was without merit and was"especially sad and distressing in its callous disregard for the horrific and prolonged global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic," citing the $20 million Johansson has already been compensated.
Disney"may get away with this but ultimately it's not good for them," she said."They need to be holding the hands of the talent and trying to figure out a solution that's good for everybody, not just them."
