Black Widow (July 9, 2021)

[matticus]

Scarjo is one of the top earners in Hollywood and this is a fight a top earner can do. Not sure if it is worth it or not in the end. Maybe the union heads should be handling this since she is part of SAG?

I hope Disney wins and Scarjo is black listed.

Not sure why someone would divorce Ryan Reynolds.

"Disney intentionally induced Marvel’s breach of the agreement, without justification, in order to prevent Ms. Johansson from realizing the full benefit of her bargain with Marvel"

What does this mean?

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

What are the chances those 2 locked lips already.

Hollywood is full of weirdos

 

[abake]

Well, I'm Team ScarJo.
Disney are truly the equivalent of Big Oil in the entertainment business... greedy *******s.

Disney has say over Marvel. Feige knows not to piss off talent in an industry that is driven by talent and Disney wanted to do what they wanted instead. Driving up D+ numbers helps drive up your stock price. Scarjo would've made more with exclusive theatrical release cause just one guy can capture digital video and it is now everywhere on the internet. A cam dude at the theatre at least turns some piracy away till digital arrives.

Feige supposedly threatened Iger/Chapek to walk out over this scandal

Yasss!

Feige knows that you need top talent to drive these movies. It is a d*** move if they told her theatrical only, but it still might not have broken the contract. Both sides will be ok with their stacks and stacks of cash.

Scarlet Johansson committed career suicide.

Then again, she was replaced by a much younger actress in the MCU. At36, Scarlet knew her time in Hollywood was coming to an end. Now she's trying to Predator herself and take Disney with her.

Lol she’s not even that old but I guess 36 is old for a women in Hollywood. Now she’s lashing out. Don’t blame her .

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Disney is done with Scarlett. They already introduced Scarlett's replacement in the BW film no less, that's just cold, even to a guy like me Also, with the multiverse, they can get a bunch of alternate BW.

I heard Scarlett got career and legal advice from Terence Howard.

So Disney are well within their rights, have breached no contract and scarjo wants more money as she thinks she's somehow entitled to it through goodwill?

At the end of the day both sides are greedy, they all want millions more than the millions they already have

There's many reasons he should anyway, and not just this one.

Wait what…why!

It’s his baby, no?

I looked up his name in the dictionary it translated to most successful cinematic universe ever lol

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, get out while the gettin's good.

MCU is fast becoming low hanging fruit -- something that DCEU has already excelled at for years.

Feige still has to do F4 and X-Men. X-Men should be his last hurrah to finish the great run. He just shows businessmen how to run a business, yet gets undercut again. You would think they would let Feige call all the shots with Marvel at this point. Always some moron exec to get in the way. George Lucas complained about the same thing. If he didn't have those political problems, we wouldn't of gotten the turds we got with the PT.
