Scarlett Johansson, star of Marvel Studios' latest release Black Widow film, filed a lawsuit against Walt Disney Co. on Thursday (July 29) at the Los Angeles Superior Court, as reported by The Direct.

Johansson reportadly alleged that her contract was breached when the Walt Disney Co. released the film on its Disney+ streaming service at the same time as its theatrical debut.



The actress's agreement with Disney's Marvel Entertainment/Marvel Studios guaranteed an exclusive theatrical release of her films, in which her salary was mostly based on the film's box-office performance.

Black Widow was released on July 9 simultaneously on Disney+ premiere access at the same time it debuted in theaters.
