Lawsuit: Johansson recently sued Disney over the movie's hybrid release
Last month, the actress made headlines for suing Disney for streaming her movie on its digital platform simultaneously with its theatrical release. The lawsuit reportedly claimed that Disney "intentionally" breached their agreement and premiered Black Widow on the streamer "with a $30 premium price," which apparently cut down the earnings of Johansson. Refuting the allegations, Disney's representative said, "Ms. Johansson's lawsuit had no merit."
Plot: 'Black Widow' is about Natasha Romanoff's dark past
The opening of Black Widow was reportedly not impressive at the Box Office and is said to be the "lowest-earning Marvel movie of all time." Reprising the role of Natasha Romanoff from the Iron Man and Avengers series, Johansson has done high-octane action sequences in this flick, which is about the character's dark past. It also stars Florence Pugh as Romanoff's sister Yelena Belova.
