Previously, Johansson sued Disney for violating the contract regarding the screening of Black Widow. He claims Disney promises an exclusive release in theaters and pays based on box office profits.
However, because the release of Black Widow was split in two: cinema and Disney+, Johansson said the profit he received was much smaller than predicted.
Black Widow is Johansson's first solo film after joining the MCU in more than 10 years. The film grossed $378 million worldwide.
