Walt Disney Co and actor Scarlett Johansson have settled their legal disputes over the release of her iconic Marvel movie "Black Widow," the company and the artist jointly announced Thursday.


Scarlett Johansson, 36, filed a lawsuit against Disney in July, accusing the giant of violating his contract when the company offered the movie its Disney + registration service at the same time as the film was playing in theaters.


Her appeal, filed in the Los Angeles County Supreme Court, argued that the two-way release of the "Black Widow" had reduced her compensation, saying she would only be given part of the receipts in the box office only from the movies.


Disney had argued at the time that "there is no merit" in court and asserted that the studio was complying with Johansson's contracts.



The company also claimed that at the time Johansson's case had shown "negligence in disregard" of the dangers to moviegoers during the COVID-19 epidemic.


The controversy has been eagerly awaiting a possible discovery in Hollywood as media companies seek to build their own streaming services by offering premium content to attract subscribers.


The "Black Widow," who first appeared on July 9 at theaters and paid $ 30 for Disney +, has earned more than $ 378 million in theaters' receipts worldwide, according to the Box Office Mojo film tracking service. 


Johansson has portrayed himself as a Russian fictional character who has turned into an avenger of Avenger, a role he has played in nine Marvel films.



"I AM VERY HAPPY THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COME TO A SCARLETT JOHANSSON VEHICLE AGREEMENT ABOUT 'THE BLACK WIDOW,'" said ALAN BERGMAN, CHAIRPERSON OF ENGINEERING IN ENGINEERING.


He said the company was looking forward to working with Johansson on “the next few projects,” including previously reported plans to produce and play a film based on the ride of the Disney “Tower of Terror” theme park.


Scarlett Johansson topped Forbes magazine's list of the world's highest paid actors in 2018 and 2019, and tax revenues reportedly totaled $ 56 million from June 2018 to June 2019.
