Jason Sudeikis also expressed support for Johansson's legal action, calling it "bad-ass and on brand." Johansson filed suit against Disney, alleging that the company breached her contract by releasing Black Widow on streaming platforms. Disney claims the lawsuit has no merit and denies any wrongdoing.
