Tonight on TV: The Movie That Led to Scarlett Johansson’s and Marvel’s Divorce

In 2010, Scarlett Johansson made her MCU debut portraying Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, in Iron Man 2. His character quickly gained public favor, so much so that he played it six times (in The Avengers, Captain America The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame).

In 2017, Marvel Studios officially begins development of a project focused solely on the superhero. Sober is called Black Widow, the film – in which the events unfold Captain America: Civil War – Natasha Romanoff is confronted with the darkest part of her past, prompting her to return to her espionage career. The feature film, scheduled for spring 2020, faced several delays following the Covid-19 pandemic, finally hitting screens in July 2021. and simultaneously on Disney+ in certain countries.

In the process, Scarlett Johansson filed a lawsuit against Disney for breaching the terms of her contract, which called for exclusive theatrical distribution—her salary, in fact, was partially indexed to the box office. In the face of a large Gulf firm, which in a press release finds her claim baseless, the actress receives support from several associations to protect women in the entertainment industry (Women in Film, ReFrame and Time’s Up), as well as Kevin. Feige, president of Marvel Studios.

In the end, the case did not settle in court, as both sides reached an amicable settlement in October 2021. Scarlett Johansson then announces that she is ready to work at Mickey’s House again. On the other hand, the actress seems to be done with the character of Black Widow. On the Gwyneth Paltrow-hosted Goop Podcast last April, he actually confided: “I’m done. The chapter is over. I’ve done everything I had to do.”
