Kevin Feige not happy with Disney with them releasing black widow on Disney plus which cost Scarlett Johansson millions.


Disney has fully complied with Ms. Johansson's contract and furthermore, the release of 'Black Widow' on Disney+ with Premier Access has significantly enhanced her ability to earn additional compensation on top of the $20 million she has received to date


My heart bleeds for her.

Someone should start a GoFundMe.

She won't suffer admittedly.

But the bigger news is Kevin feige not being happy. He's the one the movie world owes their lives to. They need to keep him sweet ffs.

I find it hard to believe that neither Scarlett or Emma were aware it was going to be released on Disney+.

How can they be unaware of such a big contractual stipulation worth tens of millions?

Yeah but that's not the point though is it really, they had an agreement in contract.

Disney the multi billion pound company screwed her out of her entitled millions.

Imagine if someone done you out of millions agreed in contract? her being already rich isn't the point, if anything you could turn that around and say well Disney is now £20m richer because they screwed her, and they're already billionaires.

What they should of done is re-arranged the contract and came to an agreement with her to have a subsidey from Disney+ buys, they didn't so they should pay up in court.

Because when they were making the film it was agreed this was going to be a Cinema release, I read another article where her management team specfically were told this would be cinema only and her contract is for cinema only, if they were going to release it on another medium where she doesn't get compensated, this should of been written into the contract.

What's happened is Disney intended it to be a movie release but then Covid dragged out for so long and they didn't want to risk people not filling up movie theatres and miss out so they opted for Disney+ and some smart fker also would of raised the fact that this will drive up Disney+ market value and stock as well because of that extra bump in subscriptions.

............ they screwed her to make themselves richer, fk them, they need to pony up.

If true then Disney are retarded because they will 100% lose the case, that's blatant breach of contract.

Why not just renegotiate and avoid all the drama?

They're going to end up with the same result (having to pay her) but now they're getting dragged through the mud and look deceitful.

Crazy that one of the biggest corporations in the world would choose to go this route.

Because when you have Disney money you can buy the best lawyers going and they were probably banking on Scarlett not wanting to crap out of Hollywood, Disney will make sure she never works again more than likely.

Disney are either fronting and taking their chances in court or .......... there's something hidden in the contract wording they feel they can make a play on.

We'll see when the court decision is announced.

PS - The fact that its reported that Feigie is unhappy with how Disney have responded likely means Scarlett is in the right, if the contract had space for a Disney+ release then why would Feige side with Scarlett?

Yeah, I saw this is Scarlett's last movie with Disney, probably why they're trying to f**k her over.

They don't need her services anymore.

Yeah I'm going to book tickets now actually, this will be better than Black Widow.

Black Widow, it was a shame, it felt rushed, there was a good story in there about people trafficking and abuse of children but they went way to "Hollywood" and didn't get enough emotion out of the story.

Guess we've been spoilt by the Disney + Marvel TV and their stories being fully dug into.

By the way Eternals looked boring in the first teaser but after seeing the new trailer, looks amazing.
