Scarlett Johansson has filed a lawsuit against Disney, claiming that the simultaneous release of her film Black Widow on Disney+ breached her contract. She alleges that she lost out on more than $50 million as a result of the streaming release. Johansson stated that she had been promised an exclusive theatrical release and that the majority of her salary was based on box office performance. The actress accuses Disney of intentionally inducing Marvel's breach of the agreement and devaluing her contract in order to benefit themselves. The lawsuit comes as major studios are experimenting with simultaneous online and theatrical releases.
